    The reference to Prefontaine may be the greatest inclusion in a chorus of all time.

      Agreed! Widespread Panic does as well in the song 1x1.

    Saw CWG when he opened for Zach Bryan, and he quickly became one of my current favorite artists. Listen to his music everyday🔥

      Just saw him last night opening for Zach in Ashland KY and I was blown away. 100% agree, one of my new found favorites

    This quickly became one of my favorite songs, if not my favorite song by Charles.
    I have a friend struggling with the trials that have held him back from being able to live to his fullest potential. I felt as if he would appreciate the song. Even more so I was hoping he’d take away something positive like I did. So I played it for him. Later asking if he knew of the runner Prefontaine. Well oddly enough, my friends father gave him the nickname Prefontaine, because he was fast and gave heart. This song was what he needed to hear. I’ve almost given up, but it was those people who were strong and knew I was strong that gave me that extra push to survive! After all the trauma I’m still here and strengthened because of what I’ve been through!
    May I add that anyone reading this, I hope you know your true worth, and you to realize you’re made of everything good. Please don’t believe the negative things you tell yourself, or hear from others. Because you’re made of greatness! Thank you Charles! This song changed my life.

    I just got home from the Fairwell Festival in Redmond Oregon. I cannot believe Charles Wesley Godwin did not play this song in Prefontaine’s home state. The crowd would have loved it.
    His lead guitar player is incredible.

    As a 90’s kid that grew up in Oregon, when I first heard the Prefontaine reference I got a lump in my throat and thought how he had almost seemed like fiction growing up hearing my father or others I respected like Cameron Hanes talk about him. Great job on this outstanding piece and a great new artist added to my Spotify!

      In high school (late 60s - early 70s me and my friends on the track team followed Pre like a rock star. Imagine stumbling across this song out of the blue and hearing that chorus! Killer tune and puts tears in my eyes. I’ve visited Marshfield HS, run Pre’s trail etc. still running. And this was a great intro to CWG, now one of my favorite artists.

    My 13 yr old son, a talented ski racer, broke his knee last week on a training run...5 days before his biggest race of the year. Needless to say his season is over and we have a long road of recovery ahead of us. Our family is heartbroken as he had worked so hard, been having an amazing season, and was posed to do very well at Qualifiers. I found this song by CWG and it has lifted our spirits and I play is every day multiple times for my son to hear. He'll be back Stronger....just like the song. The chorus is an awesome reminder to never give up and to keep pushing forward!!!

    Money's been a wise buck this year
    Now there's things in life that you've always feared
    There ain't a use to pouting around
    Singing 'woe is me' until you're six feet down
    Always following the same old tracks
    Time to break off and cut a new path
    Don't put down these words I say
    It takes blood and sweat to find a new way
    You're coming on strong
    I know your night's been long
    But I can see you coming around the bend
    And kicking until the end
    Like Prefontaine from an outside lane
    Proving them wrong
    Coming on strong
    Every miss is a payment made
    To a debt of dues that we all must pay
    Your empty coffers aren't a sign
    That you haven't saved for a whole lifetime
    And you can go out swingin' to a cold dark grave
    They can never say that you didn't live brave
    Born to nothing but pain and strain
    Leave with grit fixed to your name
    You're coming on strong
    I know your night's been long
    But I can see you coming around the bend
    And kicking until the end
    Like Prefontaine from an outside lane
    Proving them wrong
    Coming on strong
    You're coming on strong
    I know your night's been long
    But I can see you coming around the bend
    Oh and kicking until the end
    Like Prefontaine from an outside lane
    Proving them wrong
    Coming on strong
    Proving them wrong
    Coming on strong

    My brain is wired in such a way that I often process external stimuli in a visual manner. With music, despite it not having a physical form, I can still feel and see its shape in my mind. Lemme tell ya, I LOVE the shape of both Strong and CWG's voice. There are textures and nuances in his vocals that are beyond beautiful and unmatched by other artists.

    He ll play his songs
    And we will drink and fight
    And we just watch it all
    Coming on strong
    Around the Beavers Bend
    Is where the majicks kept now
    Been so long I can't go back
    Lessons learned all wrong
    Confessions the only song I have left
    So just sing a long

    God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15).If we rely on the Holy Spirit daily, He helps us to obey the commands of Christ! Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith & trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Jesus Christ, and stay in a genuine relationship with Him daily? Please abide in Sinless Christ Jesus daily and remain in Him!

    This song would be entirely better if the artist didn't purposely try to utilize a drawl like most "country artists" attempt to do - it would be easier to make out the words and lyrics that accompany a rocking instrumental for the most part. Now I want some ribs...
