  • Broken bones, broken hearts
    Stripped down and torn apart
    A little bit of rust
    I'm still runnin'
    Counting miles, counting tears
    Twist of roads, shifting gears
    Year after year
    It's all or nothing

    But I'm not home
    I'm not lost
    Still holding on to what I got
    Ain't much left
    Though there's so much that's been stolen
    Guess I've lost everything I've had
    But I'm not dead, at least not yet
    Still alone, still alive, still unbroken
    I'm still alone, still alive, I'm still unbroken

    Never captured, never tamed
    Wild horses on the plains
    You can call me lost, I call it freedom
    I feel a spirit in my soul
    It's something Lord I can't control
    I'm never giving up while I'm still breathing

    I'm not home
    I'm not lost
    Still holding on to what I got
    Ain't much left
    Though there's so much that's been stolen
    Guess I've lost everything I've had
    I'm not dead, at least not yet
    Still alone, still alive, still unbroken
    I'm still alone, still alive, I'm still unbroken

    I'm still unbroken

    Still unbroken

    Like the wind, like the rain
    Keeps on running through my veins
    Like a river pouring down into the ocean
    I'm out here on the street
    But I'm standing on my feet
    Still alive, still alone, still unbroken

    I'm not home
    I'm not lost
    Still holding on to what I got
    Ain't much left
    Though there's so much that's been stolen
    Guess I've lost everything I've had
    But I'm not dead, at least not yet
    Still alive, still alone, still unbroken
    I'm still alone, still alive, I'm still unbroken
    I'm still alone, still alive, I'm still unbroken

    I'm still unbroken

    I ain't never going down

    I'm still unbroken

  • Mike from InvernessLove this song.
  • Nuthin Fancy from Cleveland, OhThis is a good song but i just dont like how the new skynyrd kept the lynyrd skynyrd name when the plane crash happened they should have just changed the band name cause its hard to listen to a new song and not find myself comparing it to ronnies sound...its kinda there tryin to be something there not...i think its good that there keepin the old songs alive but just not the same as the real skynyrd...i think the Vicious cylce album was the best new album....but this God and Guns is a more personal album but its got that metal sound that i dont like....but everybody has there opinions and thats mine.....
  • Melissa from Boise, IdI absolutely LOVE this song. Every word is my life story. Thank you Skynyrd, you've done it again.
