About the Song:

Franko Fargo has many near-fatal accidents, then wins a million dollar lottery in his old age.

Uh! Ha! Yeah! They call me lucky - nah I just don't quit. Let's go!

Sixty-two I'm on that train ride, hey!

Storm came heavy, track slid to the side

Train hit the river, cold water rising fast

Crawled out the wreckage, wiped the mud and laughed

They write my name up in the papers every time!

They say this man should not be alive!

Can't keep me down! No no!

Throw me off a train I'm still around! Hey!

Crash burn flip drown

I dust it off and walk through town

Can't keep me down!

Sixty-three I'm flying high up in the sky, woo!

Door blew open yeah I said goodbye

Falling through the clouds, landed in the hay

Doctors said no way, I said I'm okay!

Front page news again they can't believe their eyes!

This man keeps falling but he will not die!

Can't keep me down! No no!

Throw me from a plane I'm still around! Hey!

Crash burn flip drown

I dust it off and walk through town

Can't keep me down!

Bus in the river I swam!

Car caught fire I ran!

Off a cliff caught a tree!

Nothing in this world can finish me!

Hit me with your best shot destiny

I got nine lives maybe twenty-three

Wait - it gets better - listen up now...

Two thousand three, walked in the shop bought a ticket

Scratched it off slow, jackpot can you dig it?!

Million dollars sitting right there in my hand

Gave it all away cause you don't understand

Don't need the money, don't need the fame

I survived it all, that's the real game

Can't keep me down! No no no no!

Train plane bus I'm still around! Hey! Hey!

Crash burn flip drown

The luckiest unlucky man in town!

Can't keep me down! Everybody!

Can't keep me down! One more time!

The world keeps swinging but I don't hit the ground

Can't keep me down!

Ha! Lucky? Nah... I'm just built different.
