Good Man Down

One more day in the sun

You're halfway to hardly begun

There was something more you needed to say

But your mind goes drifting away

All the little kingdoms have come

Other peoples' children are fun

You're everybody's uncle to them

It's time to run for cover again

All the joy you tasted

All the love you wasted

I know, you can't keep a good man down

You're a legend on the town

It's tragic to see

You can't keep a good man down

Creatures of the night on your mind

Are calling "don't leave us behind"

But you can't go back over that

Got to hide it under your hat

Every weekend lover

Is bound to run for cover

I know, you can't keep a good man down

You're a legend on the town

It's tragic to see

You can't keep a good man down

Oh no, you forgot to show

She's waiting on the corner

Yeah, yeah - couldn't take you anywhere

You're a two pot talker

You're helpless when you hold her

You can't keep a good man down.

I know, you can't keep a good man down

You're a legend on the town

It's tragic to see

You can't keep a good man down

You're a legend on the town

But you can't keep a good man down

You can't keep a good man down

I know, you can't keep a good man down

Never keep a good man down

I know, you can't keep a good man down
