Good Man Down Lyrics by Joe Walsh

The Confessor

1985

Well a good man’s getting hard to find these days but there still a few around
A whole world looks up to a good man, It’s hard to keep him down
So if you’re going out looking for a good, good time
But the boys all turn into clowns
Focus your 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 your wind up toys keep you busy for awhile until a good man comes around
Well you can yell and scream, treat them mean, beat them up with words
Throw them in the face you say. Do this, do that what it is, where it’s at, anything to get you your way
And you change your mood, cop an attitude, take them to the cleaners
Just because you’re steaming, just because you’re hot
Just because all the boys stop talking when you raise your voice
Your temper ends up on the ground, you don’t mean nothing 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 to war, slam doors, have a fit, throw shit, use every little trick you’ve found
It don’t mean nothing 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 man down
Yes it’s hard to keep a good man down
