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"
