Lyrics
YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN You can't keep a good man down You can't keep a good man down Cause when he falls down He picks himself up off the ground No matter what comes around You can't keep a good man down Early morning was still in bed Hard knocks at the door could wake the dead Answered the door to a man who said: '' Repo-man here to reposess your bed '' What can you do feeling like a fool But I'll get through , sometimes life ain't cool Drivin' to the city I'm taking my time Distracting little worries overtake my mind Noticed a policeman that was following me Slipped off the road and then I ran in a tree What can you do feeling like a fool But I'll get through , sometimes life ain't cool You can't keep a good man down You can't keep a good man down Cause when he falls down He picks himself up off the ground No matter what comes around You can't keep a good man down SOLO Waitin' for hours at the DMV Thinkin' there's a place that I would rather be After waitin' so long, I was next in line Then she said : '' I'm sorry sir you're in the wrong line What can you do feeling like a fool But I'll get through , sometimes life ain't cool You can't keep a good man down You can't keep a good man down Cause when he falls down He picks himself up off the ground No matter what comes around You can't keep a good man down Words & Music : Michel Goudreau - SOCAN ©Copyright 2014 by Michel Goudreau
