Oh, when I was at school some boys 
     C         G
was picking on me
Pushed me down at the playground and
     D         G
 I skinned my knee
                            C      
Lord, I wanted to cry, it occured 
  G
to me
                                 D 
Took my skeletor lunchbox, took out
            G
 his front teeth


CHORUS:
    D                           G
My daddy always told me do the best 
that you can
         C            G         D
To be a kind hearted sensitive 
            G
hard working man
            D                      
But if the high road is closed and 
     G
the lightnings comming down
               C        G         
Sometimes you gotta man up and 
       D          G
take the low road around
               C            G     
Sometimes you gotta toughen up and
           D         G    G
 take the low road around

Now, needless to say my bully 
  C            G
problems did cease
But I found myself in love with a 
 D           G
two-timing cheat
When she left I wanted to die Lord I
  C          G
 didn't even eat
And in walks her little sister 
        D             G
lookin all kinds of sweet


CHORUS:
        D                       
But my momma always said son you 
  G
gotta try hard
           C               G      
To find a woman that will love you
          D            G
 for the man that you are
            D                      
But if the high road is closed and 
     G
the lightnings comming down
               C        G         
Sometimes you gotta man up and 
       D          G
take the low road around
               C            G     
Sometimes you gotta think quick 
            D         G
and take the low road around
G    D G   D G

When I took my song to Nashville 
          C              G
Lord it didn't take me long
To realize they ain't helpin you if 
     D           G
you don't play along
I may not look and sound like money 
        C              G
but my heart is in my song
Gonna keep doin it my way weather 
     D        G
I'm right or wrong


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