Can't Hold Me Down

Been tearin' up this black-top road

Puttin' miles on a broke-down van

Countin' miles till I get home

I wanna sleep in my own bed

Cross the border to the Lone Star State

Came all the way from Macon, Georgia

Can't say that I planned to stay

But that woman sure could change my mind

When she look at me like

"Hey, baby, come over here

Go on, tell me what I wanna hear

Give me lovin' that'll drive me wild

And, uh-uh, honey, won't you stay for a while?"

But you cannot, you cannot, you cannot hold me down

When it comes to a ramblin' man

Baby, I hold the crown

Might hang around here for a little while

Then it's off to the next town

But you cannot, cannot, cannot hold me down

Lord, I know my baby's good to me

She loves me more than she should

She tells me everything's gon' be alright

Someday soon I'll be home for good

But you cannot, cannot, cannot hold me down

When it comes to a ramblin' man

Baby, I hold the crown

Might hang around here for a little while

Then it's off to the next town

But you cannot, cannot, cannot hold me down, yeah

She said, "Baby, baby, come over here

Go on, tell me what I wanna hear

Give me lovin' that'll drive me wild"

And, uh-uh, honey, won't you stay for a while?

But you cannot, you cannot, you cannot hold me down

When it comes to a ramblin' man

Baby, I hold the crown

Might hang around here for a little while

Then I'm off to the next town

But you cannot, cannot, cannot hold me down

Whoa, you cannot, you cannot, you cannot hold me down

Can't hold me down

Don't you hold me down
