Can't Keep a Good Man Down Lyrics

...CAN'T KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN... by Randy Newman
*from 'Randy Newman's Faust' (1995)*
Intro:
Everybody gather 'round me;
I got somethin' I wanna tell you...
Interlude:
Bbm Dm, Bbm G, C#
Listen...
Verse 1:
When you're on the bottom like I am today,
And those around you are losing faith,
In what you're tryin' to do;
There is only one thing a man can say;
You can't keep a good man down.
Verse 2:
There've been mistakes and I've made a few,
But, oh, what a price I had to pay.
Yet still they try to push me a-round,
But they can't keep a good man down.
Bridge 1:
There may be times, when I'm feelin' low,
I lose sight of the dream.
(Don't lose sight of the dream).
But that's alright, 'cos soon, I know;
I'll be back on top again, runnin' things. Hey, hey.
Verse 3:
Treat a man like dirt; give him no respect for who he is,
Expect something dirty in return.
Oh,they're flyin' high up there but they've got a lot to learn.
Because you can't keep a good man down.
Interlude:
Coda:
They shame me, blame me; they're tryin' to frame me.
But they can't keep a good man, they can't keep a good man,
They can't keep a good man down, woah, woah, woah...
They can't keep a good man...down.
Outro:
