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

I found this song through blind luck one day a few months ago during a total life/career overhaul at 34yrs old and it’s been on every day since. God showed me this little pick me up exactly when I needed it.

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

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.

This song has me in tears for all the hurting people in this country!

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.

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

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!

This is one of the best country songs I’ve ever heard

If you’re not ready to conquer the universe after this song you really should have someone check to see if you have a pulse!

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.
