lyrics

I WON'T LET YOU DOWN
Brandon and Sissy Moore / Ashley Cleveland / Darden Smith

Benji was the brother I never had
My partner through the good times and the bad
I counted on him he counted on me
That’s the way it is when you’re EOD
And I’d say Benji

I won’t let you down
I don’t ever want to hear that sound
Benji, I won’t let you down

Our jobs was to take those bombs apart
It takes a whole lot of patience, a lot of heart
We knew every call could be our last
With panic all around we had to move fast
I’d look at him and say Benji

I won’t let you down
Today’s not the day to hear that sound
Benji, I won’t let you down

Fifty feet feels like a million miles away
I ask myself everyday
Debris stopped flying and the dust cloud cleared
If I’d done something different would you still be here
Benji, I miss you man

I don’t let you down
Cause I carry your memory around
Benji I won’t let you down

I won’t let you down
I’m carrying your memory around
Benji, I won’t let you down
