You stabbed me in the back when I turned around
You pulled out the rug getting off the ground
I'm back on my feet for the very last time
Stop toying with my heart 'cause you know it's mine
I'm not gonna let you take me down

Sitting in my truck while the fogs roll in
Picking my guitar, telling where I've been
'Cause I've been up and I've been down
Stop turning me around so I can be found
I'm not gonna let you get me down

What's right for you may be wrong for me
I'm gonna set this prisoner free
I'm shackled and torn and I've been scorned by your lies
It's not tit for tat 'cause you know where it's at
Gonna break these chains on me
The truth will come around, not gonna take me down, yeah

Funny how you had me hypnotized
Jekyl, don't you know you were Mr. Hyde?
Don't slender me around and twist the truth
'Cause if you really do, you have no tooth (?)
I'm not gonna let you get me down, ooh yeah

What's right for you may be wrong for me
I'm gonna set this prisoner free
I'm shackled and torn and I've been scorned by your lies
It's not tit for tat 'cause you know where it's at
Gonna break these chains on me
The truth will come around, not gonna take me down

What's right for you may be wrong for me
I'm gonna set this prisoner free
I'm shackled and torn and I've been scorned by your lies
It's not tit for tat 'cause you know where it's at
Gonna break these chains on me
The truth will come around, not gonna take me down, ooh yeah

Not gonna take me down, yeah
Not gonna take me down
