Elle King - Ain't Gonna Drown Lyrics






Train's coming but I'm stuck on this road
Moon's rising and my blood is growing cold
Preacher man can't save a soul like mine
Miracles are just too damn hard to find

Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Cause the good lord ain't bringing me home

I'm bound for the broken promise land
To meet my demons and get back my upper hand
Lawman can't catch a soul like mine
Miracles are just too damn hard to find

Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Cause the good lord ain't bringing me home

Lawman can't catch a soul like mine
Miracles are just too damn hard to find

Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Cause the good lord ain't bringing me home

Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Cause the good lord ain't bringing me home

    lovely song. dont give a shit if it has to do with blacks and slavery. my german and my irish ancestors were slaves. but we arent whining about it. we are stronger than that. and we know better than to blame the ppl of today for shit happened ages ago. dont forget, blacks were sold by Blacks. i had nothing to do with it. enjoy the music for what it is...music.

    K.... W....

    this song has absolutely nothing to do with race. what the Hell? Twisted sister....search your soul. why on earth would you think this is about race?

    So good, and TALENTED, why isn't she in the spotlight? Play her music on the Radio & get her music out in the mainstream.

    Maybe nowadays you have to pay to get played. It's a shame, people are being cheated from listening to some great talent.

    thank you very much megan. this is a great song and a tremendous voice. greetings from berlin.

    h.... ....

    So very glad you enjoyed it!

  57. C.... V....

    me encanta la canción
    y no lo digo en pasado porque aun me sigue gustando y también me seguirá encantando cada vez mas que la escuche.

  58. p.... ....

    I love this song, but I'm glad it didn't make mainstream because with the way the news has been, she'd receive shit for it because it borrows so heavily from Southern slave spirituals like Wade in the Water. Guarantee she'd be called racist or making light of Black Lives Matter or some stupid crap like that.

    p.... ....

    Listen to Wade in the Water and tell me you don't hear its influence in Ain't Gonna Drown. I didn't say she appropriated it because it's extremely obvious where her inspiration came from and she hasn't tried to hide that unlike artists like Elvis who HAVE appropriated music. Nor did I mention *anything* about the song's actual subject matter so I don't need you telling me it's about religion or anything else. You're the one who put those words in there.

    All I said was that if this song made it to mainstream radio BLM would've had a field day with her because THEY would have accused her of racism. Not me.

    p.... ....

    Very interesting point. Especially brings attention to the background sounds around 2:45.

    p.... ....

    BLM supporter here. I love this song. I love Ellie. Contrary to what you think we don't hate everything. Only our people being shot like dogs on the street.

    p.... ....

    Pansy Parkinson Amen!!!

    p.... ....

    Lay off the chips...

  59. S.... P....

    Would be good on the show Lucifer

  60. K.... K....

    This is my theme song ♥♡♥♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♥♡♥♡♥♡♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♥♡

  61. t.... ....

    cuz the good lord aint bringing me home

  62. w.... ....

    Makes me think of Natural Born Killers

    w.... ....

    whousedfancyketchup oh wow😮 that was a crazy movie too

    w.... ....

    .....we'll be swimming in all the oceans now

  63. p.... c....

    It´s better: Ain´t Gonna drown in a water
    ´cose a good Lord IS BRINGING ME HOME.
    That´s why ain´t gonna drown.

    p.... c....

    +paul cocotero not really, in my perspective if the Good Lord were to take me home I would have to face the Flood.  On two levels it is Spoken in the Word, in one instance we know that if we were the Original Creation, which is where Home is, we would find ourselves Pre-Flood, and that in turn means we would then face that Flood!  We are Post-Flood Remnants!  The other level is where it speaks of the Woman in the Heavens giving Birth to the Man-Child, for when that happens the Dragon sends a Flood after the Woman, who is told to us as the City of New Jerusalem and is always considered "The Church".  :)  I love the Lyrics just the way they are, the Good Lord has already brought me Home, this time it is the Fire that shall cause the Righteous to Shine in Heaven!  Praise Jesus!

    p.... c....

    That's what I thought! Sounds like she says "cause the good Lord He bringing me home." Makes more sense.

    p.... c....

    Um, dudes... no. This song is about rejecting xtianity. lol

    p.... c....

    Like, she's saying she won't be getting baptised. Get it?

  64. B.... S....

    Long Man can't catch a soul like mine.... Touché!

    B.... S....

    What is a long man?

    B.... S....

    Law Man can't catch a soul like mine.

  65. 1.... ....

    I love to play this with harmonica. I walk all over it.

  66. 1.... ....

    The banjo makes the song. At least for me.

  67. K.... S....

    Shouldn't it be "law man" and not "long man"? Not complaining, just thought it made more sense. Awesome video and beautiful voice.

    K.... S....

    I definitely don't think thats what she means in the song but interesting i didn't know that

    K.... S....

    Kathryn Starr isn't that another name for the devil? Long man?

    K.... S....

    Long man means the devil dorks

    K.... S....

    i think long man may refer to the ferryman on the river styx. just a thought

    K.... S....

    🤷‍♀️I’m sure you’re right Kathryn Starr it makes perfect sense to be _law man._ It *_FITS._* 💋

  68. J.... H....

    My new favorite obsession song !!*

  69. B.... G....

    I feel like it should be on the walking dead?
