[Verse 1]
I've seen you be a good man
With the shirt off yo back
Years you've given to me
I still ain't had no other
Who could have my back
No, there's no quality

[Pre-Chorus]
You treated my mama well
Because of you I can tell
Just how exactly how a good man should be
But no matter what you do
It's like I don't want the truth
Why can't they let a man just let him be

[Chorus]
I'll drain your tears
I won't let you drown
So they can't ever keep
A good man down
Push through the years
You make me proud
They can't ever keep
A good man down
[Post-Chorus]
No, no, no, no
Said they can't ever keep
A good man down

[Verse 2]
Peacе of mind you've given me
Makеs me forget the past
Feels like you'll never leave
If I do wrong, forgive me
Completely
'Cause I see
Oh, that you set me free

[Pre-Chorus]
You gave your life up for me
'Cause of you I can see
Just how exactly how a good man should be
But no matter what you do
It's like I don't want the truth
Why can't they let a man just let him be

[Chorus]
I'll drain your tears
I won’t let you drown
So, they can’t
Ever keep
A good man down
Push through the years
You made me proud
They can't ever keep
A good man down
[Post-Chorus]
No, no, no, no
Said they can't
Ever keep
A good man down
No, no, no, no
Said they can't
Ever keep
A good man down

[Bridge]
You give me life
When you love me
I feel safe
You comfort me
I just want to let you know that someone can seen it all (I'll drain)

[Chorus]
I'll drain your tears
I won't let you drown
So, they can't ever keep
A good man down
Push through the years
You make me proud
They can't ever keep (Show me that they can't keep a good man down)
A good man down
[Outro]
Can't keep a good man down
A good man down
