about
A song for my dear friend Will Simmons, who lost his battle with liver cancer and hepatitis C in November 2014. ALL net money from your purchase will go to Will's family to help with his medical bills. Would also like to take a small percentage of sales and donate it in his memory to the Vanderbilt Medical Center where he received outstanding care...
Special Thanks to Ed Stauber for his help with finishing the melody and his great guitar solo and to Joey Vana for his expert mixing and his daft percussive touch!
lyrics
Chorus
You can do what you want but you can’t break me
You can try anything but you won’t break me
First Verse
You can take your best shot, put me on the ground
I might stumble and fall, but you won’t keep me down
My mind is sharp and my spirit is strong
You think you can beat me but you’re oh so wrong
Chorus
Guitar Solo
Second Verse
You can change the rules, but I’ve seen the light
You can lie and cheat, but you can’t stop my fight
I may be hurting, but I’ll never give up
You can kick me when I’m down but I’ll always get up
Chorus
