Good Man Down Songtext

von Joe Walsh

Well, a good man's gettin' hard to find these days
But there's still a few around
The whole world looks up to a good man
It's hard to keep him down
So if you're goin' out lookin' for a good, good time
But the boys all turn into clowns
Focus some attention
Don't forget to mention, no, don't forget to mention
That the boys just love it when you dish it out
Easy with the ones you've found
And the wind up toys keep you busy for a while
'Til a good man comes around

Well, you can yell and scream, treat 'em mean
Beat 'em up with words
Venom in the things you say
"Do this! Do that! What of this? Where it's at?"
Anything to get you your way
And you change your mood, cop an attitude
Take 'em to the cleaners
Just because you're steamin', just because you're hot
Just because, well, the boys stop talking when you raise your voice
They tremble as they crawl on the ground
It don't mean nothin' to a good man
It's hard to keep a good man down, down, down, down
Well, it's hard to keep a good man down

Go ahead! Go to war, slam doors, have a fit, throw shit
Use every little trick that you've found
It don't mean nothin' to a good man
Just because all the boys start shaking when the dishes fly
Tremble as they crawl on the ground
Well, it's hard to keep a good, hard to keep a good
Hard to keep a good man down
Yes, it's hard to keep a good man down

Hard, hard, hard, hard
Hard to keep a good good man down
Hard, hard, hard to keep a good man down
Hard, hard to keep a good man down
Well, it's hard to keep a good man down
