I keep my fist raised up Full-time against the world Sometimes for the family And sometimes for the girl Yeah, you'd think I'd learn my lesson I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep That middle finger down
Well I'm still hanging on And I think that God takes care of fools I've broke a lot of hearts, and I've broke a lot of rules Yet somehow I survived With a bit of dummy luck But I can never keep that finger from sticking up
I could never keep, I could never keep I could never keep my life from burning to the ground You'd think I'd learn my lesson I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep that middle finger down
I'm a grudge-holding jerk Who starts feuds with a wink A sharp-tongued S. O. B Who speaks before he thinks I've learned from my losses And I know when I'm wrong Still, my life's sadder Than an old country song

I could never keep, I could never keep I could never keep my life from burning to the ground You'd think I'd learn my lesson I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep that middle finger down
So if you looked at my life If you took a little peek You'd say âGood Lord, let it go man Just turn the other cheekâ I don't know how to let it go I just don't know how to behave I was born with this affliction And I'll take it to the grave
I could never keep, I could never keep I could never keep my life from burning to the ground You'd think I'd learn my lesson I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep that middle finger down
I could never keep, I could never keep I could never keep my life from burning to the ground You'd think I'd learn my lesson I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep that middle finger down
