Got one foot in front of the other

Got the wind at my back

Got the bluebird of happiness on my shoulder

Along with everything I could pack



Won't get me down

Won't get me down

Dig a hole, put me in the ground

Won't get me down



This old guitar done some livin'

And it's made a livin' for me

Well it's seen its share of barfights

And it's sat in the corner cryin' for me



Won't get it down

Won't get it down

If it never made another sound

Won't get it down



Wears my ring on her finger

We swore we'd always be true

There's no doubt I'd love to linger

Long after this whole world is through



Won't get us down

Won't get us down

Slander us all over town

Won't get us down



There's a man they call Jesus

And he did alot for me

Everything we do he sees us

Yeah he walks through eternity



Won't get him down

Won't get him down

Crucified with a thorny crown

Won't get him down



Won't get him down

Won't get him down

Someday he'll be back around

Won't get him down
