Well, you say you've got your troubles And the whole world brings you down And the course you pave has covered Well, you say your hopes are tumbled And the race just can't be won All the cards have now been shuffled
But you can't keep a good man down No you can't keep a good man down Well, you can't keep a good man down No you can't keep a good man down
Well, you say you hate to grumble But you still got paid your dues And the sky is about to rumble
But you can't keep a good man down No you can't keep a good man down Well, you can't keep a good man down No you can't keep a good man down
So, you say that life's a hassle And you want your way around If you only had the muscle
But you can't keep a good man down No you can't keep a good man down Well, you can't keep a good man down No you can't keep a good man down
But you can't keep a good man down No you can't keep a good man down Well, you can't keep a good man down No you can't keep a good man down
