The Low Road
Oh, when I was at school some boys was picking on me
Pushed me down at the playground and I skinned my knee
Lord, I wanted to cry, it occurred to me
Took my Skeletor lunch box, took out his front teeth
My daddy always told me, "Do the best that you can
To be a kind-hearted, sensitive, hard-working man
But if the high road is closed and the light is coming down
Sometimes you got to man up, and take the low road around
Sometimes you got to tough it up, and take the low road around"
Now needless to say my bully problems did cease
But I found myself in love with a two-timing cheat
When she left I wanted to die, Lord, I didn't even eat
And then walks in her little sister
Looking all kinds of sweet
My mama always said, "Son, you gotta try hard
To find a woman that will love you for the man that you are
But if the high road is closed and the light is coming down
Sometimes you got to man up, and take the low road around
Sometimes you gotta think quick, and take the low road around"
When I took my soul to Nasvhille it didn't take me long
To realize they ain't helping if you don't play along
I may not look and sound like money, but my heart is in my song
I'm gonna keep doing it my way, whether I'm right or wrong
My daddy always said, "Son don't ever try to be
Just like another one of them boys 'cause you ain't ever gonna be
And if the high road is closed and life light's coming down
Sometimes you got to man up, and take the low road around
Sometimes you got to tough it up, and take the low road around
Slap some chains on them tires, and take the low road around"
Pushed me down at the playground and I skinned my knee
Lord, I wanted to cry, it occurred to me
Took my Skeletor lunch box, took out his front teeth
My daddy always told me, "Do the best that you can
To be a kind-hearted, sensitive, hard-working man
But if the high road is closed and the light is coming down
Sometimes you got to man up, and take the low road around
Sometimes you got to tough it up, and take the low road around"
Now needless to say my bully problems did cease
But I found myself in love with a two-timing cheat
When she left I wanted to die, Lord, I didn't even eat
And then walks in her little sister
Looking all kinds of sweet
My mama always said, "Son, you gotta try hard
To find a woman that will love you for the man that you are
But if the high road is closed and the light is coming down
Sometimes you got to man up, and take the low road around
Sometimes you gotta think quick, and take the low road around"
When I took my soul to Nasvhille it didn't take me long
To realize they ain't helping if you don't play along
I may not look and sound like money, but my heart is in my song
I'm gonna keep doing it my way, whether I'm right or wrong
My daddy always said, "Son don't ever try to be
Just like another one of them boys 'cause you ain't ever gonna be
And if the high road is closed and life light's coming down
Sometimes you got to man up, and take the low road around
Sometimes you got to tough it up, and take the low road around
Slap some chains on them tires, and take the low road around"
