[00:17.50] When I was in school
[00:18.85] Some bullies was picking on me
[00:21.24] Pushed me down at the playground
[00:23.27] And I skinned my knee
[00:25.31] Lord I wanted to cry
[00:27.60] It occured to me
[00:29.56] Took my skeletor lunchbox
[00:31.63] Took out his front teeth
[00:34.35] My daddy always told me
[00:36.11] Do the best that you can
[00:38.50] To be a kind hearted
[00:39.86] Sensitive hard working man
[00:42.13] But if the high road is closed
[00:44.26] And the lightnings comming down
[00:46.64] Sometimes you gotta man up
[00:48.56] And take the low road around
[00:50.86] Sometimes you gotta toughen up
[00:52.98] And take the low road around
[00:59.15] Needless to say
[01:00.11] My bully problems did cease
[01:02.39] But I found myself in love
[01:04.69] With a two-timing cheat
[01:06.65] When she left i wanted to die
[01:09.10] Lord I didn't even eat
[01:10.90] Then in walks her little sister
[01:13.30] Lookin all kinds of sweet
[01:15.86] My momma always said
[01:17.46] Son you gotta try hard
[01:19.58] To find a woman that will love you
[01:21.89] For the man that you are
[01:23.72] But if the high road is closed
[01:25.94] And the lightnings comming down
[01:28.40] Sometimes you gotta man up
[01:30.30] And take the low road around
[01:32.41] Sometimes you gotta think quick
[01:34.66] And take the low road around
[02:12.65] When I took my song to nashville
[02:14.55] Lord it didn't take me long
[02:16.40] To realize they ain't helpin you
[02:18.53] If you dont play along
[02:20.70] I may not look and sound like money
[02:22.98] But my heart is in my song
[02:25.22] Gonna keep doin it my way
[02:27.22] Weather I'm right or wrong
[02:29.58] My daddy always said dont ever try to be
[02:33.33] Just another one of them boys
[02:35.51] Cause you aint never gonna be
[02:37.59] But if the high road is closed
[02:39.85] And the landslides comming down
[02:41.92] Sometimes you gotta man up
[02:43.72] And take the low road around
[02:46.80] Sometimes you gotta toughen up
[02:48.26] And take the low road around
[02:50.34] Strap some chains on them tires
[02:52.48] And take the low road around
