You can't keep a good man down
No, you can't keep a good man down
In the morning when you wake up
He'll be there before you rise

And you wonder what he's doin'
Pretty soon, you'll realize that
You can't keep a good man down
No, you can't keep a good man down
You may run, you may hide

You can mess him up inside
You can wreck his body with pain
And he'll come on back again
'Cause you can't keep a good man down
No, you can't keep a good man down

Take me away
It's just about time to hit the road and say
You gotta believe in something
It's easy to see
My God, it's fading away
So pick up your bible and pray for me

I'm all alone in the darkness
But my eyes are open wide
I can't see nothing
And I don't know why
The night is over
The day has just begun
The night is over and done

Take me away
It's just about time to hit the road and say
I've gotta believe in someone
Take me away
It's just about time to hit the road and say
I've gotta believe in something
