"You Can't Keep A Good Man Down" lyrics

A wise old man once whispered in my ear
In a still small voice but his message was loud and clear
He said, if you should ever find yourself face down in a hole
Son there's one thing I want you to know

When trouble circles around
Climb up to the higher ground
Cause lord have mercy...
You can't keep a good man down

Sneaky old Satan's on a mission to bring you harm
Poison your well, send a fox into your barn
He'll raise hell tryin' to cast his spell on you
There's no telling what evil deed he'll do

Slander your name all over town
Burn your house down to the ground
But lord have mercy...
You can't keep a good man down

Now the moral of this story is to thine own self be true
You're the light of the world so let your light shine through
Raise your voice and shout from your own bell tower
Put your faith and trust in your higher power

When trouble circles around
Climb up to the higher ground
Cause lord have mercy...
You can't keep a good man down

No, you can't
Can't keep a good man down

Can't keep a
Can't keep a good man down

Can't keep a
Can't keep a good man down

Can't keep a
Can't keep a good man down

Can't keep a
You can't keep a good man down
