Jimmy Barnes

Knock Me Down

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 death

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
