Backstory:

James and Troy and I had gotten together to write and were tossing song ideas around. James talked about some of his struggles after having placed 5th in American Idol; the ups and downs and the challenge of getting back up again.

Lyrics:

                                                  
This Far
James Durbin (ASCAP) | John Cirillo (ASCAP) | Troy Castellano (SESAC)

Life’s got a funny way to keep you guessing
Just when you think you got it made, you don’t
God laughs at your plans, trips you up again
I could quit, but I won’t

Cause...
I didn’t come this far just to get this far
I didn’t fight this hard just to fade away
I won’t give up, cuz it’s in my blood
Pumping through my heart like that old freight train
I won’t burnout like some ol’ fallin star
Cause I didn’t come this far...just get this far

I raise a glass to those that walked beside me
I keep their dreams and memories in an 8 X 10
And you know that I pray I haven’t seen my best days
Can I get an amen

	Chorus

Solo

I didn’t come this far just to get this far
And I ain’t ready for this ride to end 
No,I  won’t give up, cuz it’s in my blood
Pumping through my heart like that old freight train
I won’t burnout like some ol’ fallin star
Cause I didn’t come this far...just get this far
