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
G D G D G
Yeah,
G C G
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
D G
My daddy always said don't ever try to be
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
