It was midnight when the lightning struck It put a crack down the middle of the road Now I don't believe in luck But when ? is tough it might be a good time to fold 'Cause by the way it's looking now I might as well be staring down the barrel of a gun I know this can't be how it ends Maybe I'm dreaming and any second I'll wake up But I have a story to tell and I kept in tonight And even If I have to go through hell To get to the other side I'll burn the bridge and I'll go down with it And I'm gonna swim right through the fire And I might be wrong but I sure hope I'm right But I'll never know unless I try And ever since I was a child I heard a river running wild underneath And now that I'm a man And I can see it from where I stand I can hardly believe it And I have a story to tell and I kept in tonight So even If I have to go through hell To get to the other side (I will) I'll burn the bridge and I'll go down with it And I'm gonna swim right through the fire And I might be wrong but I sure hope I'm right But I'll never know unless I try Oh, God knows I won't give up without a fight 'Cause all the choices that I've made good and bad It doesn't make a difference today And now that I know that When the rubber meets the road You can't have smoke without the flame And my skin's too tough for this to break it I'll burn the bridge and I'll go down with it And I'm gonna swim right through the fire And I might be wrong but I sure hope I'm right But I'll never know unless I try Oh, God knows I won't give up without a fight Oh, God knows I won't give up without a Oh, God knows I won't give up without a fight Without a fight It was midnight when the lightning struck It put a crack down the middle of the road
