VERSE:
G+G C majorC G+G
Oh, when I was at school some boys was picking on me
D MajorD G+G
Pushed me down at the playground and I skinned my knee
C majorC G+G
Lord, I wanted to cry, it occured to me
D MajorD G+G
Took my skeletor lunchbox, took out his front teeth
CHORUS:
D MajorD G+G
My daddy always told me do the best that you can
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
To be a kind hearted sensitive hard working man
D MajorD G+G
But if the high road is closed and the lightnings comming down
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
Sometimes you gotta man up and take the low road around
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G G+G
Sometimes you gotta toughen up and take the low road around
VERSE:
G+G C majorC G+G
Now, needless to say my bully problems did cease
D MajorD G+G
But I found myself in love with a two-timing cheat
C majorC G+G
When she left I wanted to die Lord I didn`t even eat
D MajorD G+G
And in walks her little sister lookin all kinds of sweet
CHORUS:
D MajorD G+G
But my momma always said son you gotta try hard
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
To find a woman that will love you for the man that you are
D MajorD G+G
But if the high road is closed and the lightnings comming down
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
Sometimes you gotta man up and take the low road around
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
Sometimes you gotta think quick and take the low road around
G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
Yeah,

VERSE:
G+G C majorC G+G
When I took my song to Nashville Lord it didn`t take me long
D MajorD G+G
To realize they ain`t helpin you if you don`t play along
C majorC G+G
I may not look and sound like money but my heart is in my song
D MajorD G+G
Gonna keep doin it my way weather I`m right or wrong
CHORUS:
D MajorD G+G
My daddy always said don`t ever try to be
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
Just like another one of them boys `cause you ain`t never gonna be
D MajorD G+G
And if the high road is closed and the landslides comming down
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
Sometimes you gotta man up and take the low road around
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
Sometimes you gotta toughen up and take the low road around
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
Strap some chains on them tires and take the low road around
