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 down!
I 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 down!
You can't keep a good man down You can't keep a good man down You can't keep a good man You can't keep a good man down!
Please 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! listen-
You 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!

Now take that rich boy who stays home all day, hehe He's got so much, he really ain't got nothing to say I'm on the streets and I cover the whole town Ain't got no money, but you can't keep me down! No way!
Please 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 down!
You 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 down! You can't keep a good man down, like I said You can't keep a good man down, you can't beat me I admit I'd rather fight than quit You can't keep a good man down!
