Lyrics

[Verse 1] Early years were a shroud man Only a grey cloud shot in the dark Hanging out with your dad And his plans for revenge In some hick-town caravan park [Chorus] Never keep a good one Never keep a good one Never keep a good one down [Verse 2] Early years were a dreadnought Waiting to tread board My work down the pan Hanging round by the back door One foot in a stage door Some disaffected fly-by man [Chorus] Never keep a good one Never keep a good one Never keep a good one down [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Got wired by a cable Got wild on a table Scared the shit out of me Oh, all for the free state The snow and the greasepaint I left the singing family [Chorus] Never keep a good one Never keep a good one Never keep a good one down
