I can see where I'm going
Although the road's not clear
Sometimes it don't seem so, but I know
You can't keep a good man downI buy the paper nearly every day
But I ain't got time to read it, you know
Ain't no jobs for me in there now, anyway, but I know
You can't keep a good man downYou can't keep a good man down
You can't keep a good man down
You can't keep a good man
Can't keep a good man downPlease don't talk about the plans you've made, honey
I've made some plans myself, you know
Sometimes the sign says stop, but I go, and you
Can't keep a good man down; listenYou can't keep a good man down, yeah
You can't keep a good man down
I admit, I'd rather fight than quit
Can't keep a good man down!Babe, let's goBaby, take your rich boy - he stay home all day, haha
He got so much, he really ain't got nothing to say
I'm on the streets and I, I cover the whole town
I ain't got no money, but you can't keep me down
No wayPlease don't talk about the plans you've made
I've made my plans for me
You might lock me up, but I'm gonna break free
You can't keep a good man downYou can't keep a good man down - like I said, now
You can't keep a good man down - believe me
Don't get tough, 'cause I can play too rough
You can't keep a good man downYou can't keep a good man down - like I say
You can't keep a good man down - you can hear me
I admit, I'd rather fight than quit
'Cause you can't keep a good man down
