Alabama - Can't Keep A Good Man Down Lyrics






He said goodbye to the angels of heaven
And He came to earth as a common man
He taught us how we could love one another
There was healing in His hands

There were those who believed and followed Him
And there were those who wanted Him dead
They thought the grave would silence Him forever
But they found out instead

[Chorus:]
You can close your eyes
You can say it's a lie
You can stick your head in the sand
You can turn away, even try to explain
He was just another man
When they nailed Him to the cross by His hands and feet
And the put Him in the ground
Three days later everybody found out that you can't
No you can't keep a good man down

I hear you say that it all sounds crazy
It's a good story but it can't be true
How could a man who was dead and buried
Mean a thing to me and you

Here we are two thousand years later
And still the choice is just the same
You can say that you don't believe it
But it doesn't change a thing

[Chorus]

I can take you to the hill where they hung Him on a cross
I can take you to the empty tomb
I can tell you He's alive 'cause He lives in me
But the rest is up to you

[Chorus]

    According to rca records the original drummer was in the band from my home in Alabama all the way up til their last concert in Orange Beach ,Alabama years ago .now we all was use to seeing himi..in the group.what got him.in the dog house he ask the tour bus driver to turn up the thermostat. The bus was too cold .so the "" three " had him put in the other bus with the roadies.now that's not the way to treat a nap. .who was with the band over 30 years .

  37. J.... P....

    Artist of the Decade - 1989

    Band of the Century - 1999

    Name any other band, in any genre that can claim that achievement!

    J.... P....

    I can name one Super Group Alabama like you Said they are the best

  38. 7.... ,....

    That Mitchell Tenpenny ad keeps comin on, so I'll tell y'all what I think about it.


    I'm tired of that fella comin on before this REAL country. Cuz all I see when he comes on that ad, is a skinny pants wearin terrible siingin fake country star. As are a lot of modern country bands.







    And have y'all noticed their startin to use AUTO TUNE DRUMS IN COUNTRY!!!!?????

  39. 7.... ,....

    If I was from anywhere other than Alabama I wouldn't be happy.

  40. M.... r....

    Love this song❤️

  41. D.... w....

    I SEE THAT RANDY OWEN

  42. T.... l....

    I'm Glade the drummer sued the group. As you see he is apart of all their videos albums, posters. Randy Owens you need to get on the phone and apologize to him.

    T.... l....

    Tommy lee Pate The band actually sued drummer Mark Herndon for $202,000... the suit claimed it was overpayment... as Herndon was not an official member of the band, but simply a paid employee... The band did not sue until Herndon sued over money supposedly owed for live albums and songs Herndon played on...

    According to Herndon... no bad feelings between him and the band...

    T.... l....

    The original drummer was a big part of all the band songs, albums, tapes,DVDs , CDs, posters.

    T.... l....

    Tommy lee Pate True, Randy said as much, but as Randy stated... Herndon was not an official member... just a paid employee...

    T.... l....

    Tommy lee Pate why did the drummer sue the group?

  43. R.... S....

    Not For LONG 😎😎😎

  44. A.... M....

    Man, that girl is so gorgeous!

  45. N.... ....

    If Randy hadn't have sunk all his money into that damn Cessna, he could've been in a decent house and kept the girl. Nobody wants a trailer man.

  46. P.... B....

    This is a great song

  47. J.... M....

  60. j.... h....

    I thought it was forever
    I thought it would last
    Gotta try to make it
    A page of my past
    You didn't even say goodbye
    When you slammed that doorNow I'm lyin' here alone
    In what once was our bed
    Trying to forget
    All the cruel words you said
    All the radio was playing
    What once was our favorite songOh enough is enough I won't take anymore
    I'm picking myself up off the floor'Cause you can't keep a good man down
    You can't keep a good man down
    Oh no you can't keep a good man down
    Sugar, you can't keep a good man downGonna dress up in my finest
    Clothes that I own
    And take it to the streets
    I won't be lonely for long
    Gonna put on my best moves
    On every single woman I seeNow you thought you could break me
    Add me to your list
    Notch me on your gun
    Let me tell you this
    I've got news for you baby
    I don't break that easily'Cause you can't keep a good man down
    You can't keep a good man down
    Oh no you can't keep a good man down
    Sugar, you can't keep a good man downI'll be out there on the scene
    Hangin' with my friends
    This world's gonna see
    Me smilin' again
    I'm taking some time
    To erase you from my memoryDon't write any letters
    Don't call me on the phone
    Don't knock on my door
    Cause to you I'm not at home
    I know there's a woman out there
    For a man like me'Cause you can't keep a good man down
    You can't keep a good man down
    Oh no you can't keep a good man down
    Sugar, you can't keep a good man downOh enough is enough I won't take anymore
    I'm picking myself up off the floor'Cause you can't keep a good man down
    Baby, you can't keep a good man down
    Honey, you can't keep a good man down
    Sugar, you can't keep a good man down
