It don't make no difference if I'm strong or I'm brave

All they ever talk about is how I need a shave

In the first debate with J.F.K. I know I was in trouble

When the press chose 2 focus its attention on my stubble

I lost, but 2 years later I was runnin' again

4 the California statehouse I had a monster yen

I gave it my best but I lost 2 Pat Brown

Told the guys in the press they'd miss kickin' Dick around

6 more years pass and where am I? In Miami

(The time before the time I got hugged by Sammy)

It woulda been a landslide if it hadn't been 4 Spiro

And I woke up the next mornin' as America's hero.

U can't keep me down, can't keep me down

U can't keep me down, can't keep me down
