Lyrics

I don't buy that free lip service Suits and rich folks don't make me nervous, no But I respect the law and those below the clay And I don't answer to those who question My job, my lingo or my religion See I know well those are choices I made I take the high in the road Give the light of the load I live my life with passion and love I'm a man, not a fraction of Me and my friends tend to spend time Laughing at jokes with the same ol punch lines Still I wouldn't trade those wasted days Oh, that's right And I don't always learn my lesson Haven't left the best first impressions And my baby knows I'm stubborn and stuck in my ways I take the high in the road Give the light of the load I live my life with passion and love I'm a man, not a fraction of I take the high in the road Give the light of the load I live my life with passion and love I'm a man, not a fraction of Aw, lets play The eagle flies with the right and left wings I'm partial to farmers with small town families No, I don't forget where I was born and raised And I don't claim to be a Rhodes scholar I'm rough on the edges, blue in the collar But I ain't alone, I'm feeling proud to say I take the high in the road Give the light of the load I live my life with passion and love I'm a man, not a fraction of I take the high in the road Give the light of the load I live my life with passion and love I'm a man, not a fraction of I take the high in the road Give the light of the road, aw I live my life with passion and love I'm man not a fraction of I take the high in the road
