Well this friend of mine thought he could fly
And nothing between him and the ground
Just 25 feet of sky
But a whiskey bottle foiled his plans
With the full force of the law he lands
It's 2 years in recuperation
Until next time
There he goes again
Life weighs heavy but you can't keep a good man down
Until next time
There he goes again
Life weighs heavy but you can't keep a good man down
Until next time
Well this friend of mine gave me his guitar
And a case of beer in case I fell too hard
He said, "I am just a quiet man
And who is in my frying pan"
It took me 3 days to figure out what he meant
Until next time
There he goes again
Life weighs heavy but you can't keep a good man down
Until next time
There he goes again
Life weighs heavy but you can't keep a good man down
Until next time
From the blue ridge of north carolina
With a heavy heart he sets out for the west
And who knows what he's gonna find
Maybe more than peace of mind
And it's six months since I've heard a word
Until next time
There he goes again
Life weighs heavy but you can't keep a good man down
Until next time
There he goes again
Life weighs heavy but you can't keep a good man down
Until next time
There he goes again
Life weighs heavy but you can't keep a good man down
