[00:13.14].
[00:17.20]I don't buy that free lip service
[00:21.08]Suits and rich folks don't make me nervous, no
[00:26.20]But I respect the law and those below the clay
[00:33.33]And I don't answer to those who question
[00:37.20]My job, my lingo or my religion
[00:41.20]See I know, well those are choices I made
[00:46.20].
[00:47.39]I take the high in the road
[00:49.83]
[00:51.86]I give the light of the load
[00:55.67]I live my life with passion and love
[00:59.80]I'm a man, not a fraction of
[01:03.36].
[01:07.30]Me and my friends tend to spend time
[01:10.98]Laughing at jokes with the same ol' punch lines
[01:16.92]Still I wouldn't trade those wasted days
[01:20.99]Oh, that's right
[01:22.92]And I don't always learn my lesson
[01:26.54]Haven't left the best first impressions
[01:31.00]And my baby knows I'm stubborn and stuck in my ways
[01:35.94].
[01:36.94]I take the high in the road
[01:39.63]I give the light of the load
[01:44.87]I live my life with passion and love
[01:49.38]I'm a man, not a fraction of
[01:54.88]I take the high in the road
[01:59.19]I give the light of the load
[02:01.93]I live my life with passion and love
[02:07.13]I'm a man, not a fraction of
[02:08.58]
[02:11.22].
[02:12.60]Aw, let's play
[02:13.91].
[02:30.65]The eagle flies with the right and left wings
[02:34.46]I'm partial to farmers with small town families
[02:38.85]
[02:40.67]No, I don't forget where I was born and raised
[02:45.61]
[02:51.23]And I don't claim to be a Rhodes scholar
[02:55.11]I'm rough on the edges, blue in the collar
[02:59.30]But I ain't alone, I'm feeling proud to say
[03:05.49]I take the high in the road
[03:09.61]I give the light of the load
[03:12.79]I live my life with passion and love
[03:18.04]I'm a man, not a fraction of
[03:21.35]
[03:23.52]I take the high in the road
[03:27.17]I give the light of the load
[03:30.54]I live my life with passion and love
[03:32.31]
[03:35.85]I'm a man, not a fraction of
[03:37.21]
[03:41.29]I take the high in the road
[03:45.36]I give the light of the load
[03:46.25]
[03:48.48]I live my life with passion and love
[03:50.18]
[03:53.85]I'm a man, not a fraction of
[03:56.49].
