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 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 scolar 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 road, aw I live my life with passion and love I'm man not a fraction of I take the high in the road.
