"Can't Keep a Good Man Down" is a song made famous by the country music band Alabama. The song was released in 1985 as the third track from the band's sixth album, 40-Hour Week.

That November, it became the band's 18th straight No. 1 song in as many single releases, extending their streak just set three months earlier with "40 Hour Week (For a Livin')."

A music video was filmed for the song, and has aired on CMT and Great American Country.
