lyrics

I know you’ve been sleepin’ with the lights on
Late night shifts filled with nightmares and love songs
Tell me ‘bout the stranger that haunts you

You’ve spent your whole life in the dark getting’ walked on
By every OLD love drunk boy from a bar room
I bet it feels like any man can cross you

Standin’ there so long
Been done so many wrongs
You let that water flow

When you’re standin’ tall
All the men will crawl to your Door

No one in this town could ever hold you down
You could never fall, you hold your ground
Your memory is strong
I know you’ll hold on
Strong as steel

There’s no question you’ve got history
Every low-rent Romeo has shit to say
The daily rags just print what you’re supposed to believe

Standin’ there so long
Been done so many wrongs
You let that water flow

When you’re standin’ tall
All the men will crawl to your Door

No one in this town could ever hold you down
You could never fall, you hold your ground
Your memory is strong
I know you’ll hold on
Strong, strong

No one in this town could ever hold you down
You could never fall, you hold your ground
Your memory is strong
I know you’ll hold on
Strong as steel

YOU WILL NEVER FALL
STRONG AS STEEL
YOU WILL NEVER FALL
STRONG AS STEEL
YOU WILL NEVER FALL
STRONG AS STEEL
YOU WILL NEVER FALL
STRONG AS STEEL
