Nothing you can do or say will stop me going on my way Cause you can't keep a good man down It's true I have seen better days I think my hair is turning gray But you can't keep a good man down Yeah all of my life I had people like you Pushing me 'round, trying to tell me what to do I tell you there's no reason why, I should never reach the sky Cause you can't keep a good man down Yeah all of my life I had people like you Pushing me 'round, trying to tell me what to do I tell you there's no reason why, I should never reach the sky 'Cause you can't keep a good man down Nothing you can do or say will stop me going on my way Cause you can't keep a good man down You better not laugh in my face Cause I tell you I'm going to win the race No you can't keep a good man down
