Thrown Down Lyrics | R.J. Sloane
Thrown Down is a driving outlaw gospel song by R.J. Sloane about the fierce fight to get back up every time life throws him down.
A busted radiator, a broken gate, a scorching sun, the wreckage that wears a man down becomes proof the fight isn't wasted, it's forging something that lasts.
VERSE 1
Radiator's split
Steam pouring out
Stranded on the road
Mile from the house
Sun's coming down
Hot hammer blows
Dust hanging thick
Where the engine froze
PRE-CHORUS
I stand alone
Desert wasteland all around
Weight pressing in
CHORUS
Air fills my lungs
Something shifts low
Storm inside subsides
Tension unwinds
Every lost fight
Finally makes sense
Ain't about the now
Temporary trouble
To grow me
For something more
VERSE 2
Gate hinge snapped
Cattle pushing loose
Shadows stretching long
No time to lose
Hands sweating
Wrench slips off the bolt
World bucking hard
Dang unbroke colt
PRE-CHORUS
I stand alone
Desert wasteland all around
Weight pressing in
CHORUS
Air fills my lungs
Something shifts low
Storm inside subsides
Tension unwinds
Every lost fight
Finally makes sense
Ain't about the now
Temporary trouble
To grow me
For something more
BRIDGE
Outer man ground down
Temper wearing thin
Fire in the dust
Burns away the sin
Soul growing stronger
With each breath
Everyday trouble
Won't end in defeat
CHORUS
Air fills my lungs
Something shifts low
Storm inside subsides
Tension unwinds
Every lost fight
Finally makes sense
Ain't about the now
Temporary trouble
To grow me
For something more
OUTRO
Ain't about the now
Grow me for
Something more
