lyrics

He walks the streets
He don't look pretty
He's lost his job in the big bright city
He's looking down but sure ain't beaten
Holds His guitar like music's all he's eaten
His boss had said
"We've let you go, don't come Monday no need to show
We appreciate the work you've done
You're on your own son"

He contemplates his future now
A new direction if he just knew how
What happens next, what's in store
At his lowest point he starts to write a score
Here's his chance to grab a your attention
Music in his head he never cared to mention
Can't find a job to beg steal or borrow
But he's playing his guitar like there's no tomorrow.

Chorus:

Don't put me down
I never will be beaten
Don't put me down
I ain't falling far
Don't put me down
music is my beacon
we're going into town
me and my guitar
Don't put me down
A man upon a mission
Don't put me down
you'll never take my car
Don't put me down
Don't need no permission
My band are coming with me just to show you who we are

Don't put me down

He writes his lyrics the word's just keep a flowing
Looks ahead he really knows where he's going
The bands on stage ready and awaiting
Steps up to the mike there's no hesitating
Wonders how his songs will be received
No more feeling like he's been bereaved
The crowd applaud show their appreciation
He's strutting now and here's his declaration

Chorus:

Don't put me down
I never will be beaten
Don't put me down
I ain't falling far
Don't put me down
music is my beacon
we're going into town
me and my guitar
Don't put me down
A man upon a mission
Don't put me down
you'll never take my car
Don't put me down
Don't need no permission
My band are coming with me just to show you who we are

Don't put me down

Don't put me down
