When I was in school Some bullies was picking on me Pushed me down at the playground And I skinned my knee Lord I wanted to cry It occured to me Took my skeletor lunchbox 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 lightnings comming down Sometimes you gotta man up And take the low road around Sometimes you gotta toughen up And take the low road around 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 Then in walks her little sister Lookin all kinds of sweet My momma 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 lightnings comming down Sometimes you gotta man up And take the low road around Sometimes you gotta think quick And take the low road around When I took my song to nashville Lord it didn't take me long To realize they ain't helpin you If you dont play along I may not look and sound like money But my heart is in my song Gonna keep doin it my way Weather I'm right or wrong My daddy always said dont ever try to be Just another one of them boys Cause you aint never gonna be But if the high road is closed And the landslides comming down Sometimes you gotta man up And take the low road around Sometimes you gotta toughen up And take the low road around Strap some chains on them tires And take the low road around
