I've stood alone against a lot of men I didn't care if there was one or ten They never knocked me down Makes no difference if you carry a gun Don't expect me just to turn and run Won't let you knock me down You can try to shoot me in the back Or can you just hold out for a heart attack But you won't knock me down My daddy taught me what was wrong and right If I believe, I'll always stand and fight Won't let you knock me down And if you wanna put me to the test I'm gonna turn my cheek, you better do your best Won't let you knock me down I ain't the greatest fighting man alive But you can never take away my pride Won't let you knock me down I learned a lot of things when I was just at school I was never gonna be nobody's fool They thought that maybe time could open up my eyes And I've learnt to bend But boy were they surprised You can beat me ‘til I'm black and blue I'm gonna keep on coming, I might just bleed on you But you won't knock me down This is a simple choice of life and d**h One wrong move and you've got nothing left No you won't knock me down If you think that all I say ain't true You better keep on running cause I'm after you You'll never knock me down
