about

This is about not giving up, no matter how hard things seem. Ironically, the title comes from Nixon's famous quote about a man not being finished when he's defeated, but when he quits.

The chord progression reminded me of a song called "James" by The Nields, so the first verse has several lyrical nods to that song.

lyrics

I waited for you
And you finally came
I was so lonely
I was standing in the rain

Cast my net
And threw my line
Came up empty every time
Stayed although I was drenched to the bone

Now the sun has come back out
Light and warmth dispel the doubt
And I know I’ll never walk alone

Even in the hard times
I always stuck with it
Yeah, I may have been defeated
But I never quit

I kept on going
When all I wanted was to rest
Stared at the horizon
Had no idea how far was left

Throat was parched and lips were cracked
But I knew, no turning back
Forward was the only chance I had

Now that journey’s at an end
Things have changed and changed again
Never left the path and I’m so glad

Even in the hard times
I always stuck with it
Yeah, I may have been defeated
But I never quit

I finally made it
So good I almost can’t believe
This day is finally happening
And it all feels like a dream

But this dream has now come true
You with me and me with you
All that I could want and so much more

Fire shines, and by its glow
Lights our way and guides us home
I can’t wait to find out what’s in store

Even in the hard times
I always stuck with it
Yeah, I may have been defeated
But I never quit
Don’t let the pain destroy you
‘Cause you’re stronger than it
Yeah, I may have been defeated
But I never quit
