Oh, when I was at school some boys was picking on me
                                                                                                             D                      G  
Pushed me down at the playground and I skinned my knee
                                                                          C                    G  
Lord, I wanted to cry, it occured to me
                                                                                        D                                 G  
Took my skeletor lunchbox, took out his front teeth
          D                                                                      G  
My daddy always told me do the best that you can
                        C                              G                      D                              G  
To be a kind hearted sensitive hard working man
                                D                                                                      G  
But if the high road is closed and the lightnings comming down
                                        C                    G                                         D                         G  
Sometimes you gotta man up and take the low road around
                                        C                              G                                         D                      G  
Sometimes you gotta toughen up and take the low road around
                G                                                              C                              G  
Now, needless to say my bully problems did cease
                                                                                             D                            G  
But I found myself in love with a two-timing cheat
                                                                                                     C                         G  
When she left I wanted to die Lord I didn't even eat
                                                                                                        D                                 G  
And in walks her little sister lookin all kinds of sweet
                     D                                                                 G  
But my momma always said son you gotta try hard
                             C                                      G                                         D                              G  
To find a woman that will love you for the man that you are
                                D                                                                      G  
But if the high road is closed and the lightnings comming down
                                        C                    G                                         D                         G  
Sometimes you gotta man up and take the low road around
                                        C                              G                                            D                      G  
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
                                                                                                             D                            G  
To realize they ain't helpin you if you don't play along
                                                                                                                     C                                    G  
I may not look and sound like money but my heart is in my song
                                                                                                        D                    G  
Gonna keep doin it my way weather I'm right or wrong

                                C                                              G                                                      D                         G  
Just like another one of them boys 'cause you ain't never gonna be
                                D                                                                      G  
And if the high road is closed and the landslides comming down
                                        C                    G                                         D                      G  
Sometimes you gotta man up and take the low road around
                                        C                              G                                         D                      G  
Sometimes you gotta toughen up and take the low road around
                                  C                                 G                                              D                      G  
Strap some chains on them tires and take the low road around
