VERSE:
   G                 C     G
Oh, when I was at school some boys was picking on me

                     D     G
Pushed me down at the playground and I skinned my knee

              C    G
Lord, I wanted to cry, it occured to me

                 D       G
Took my skeletor lunchbox, took out his front teeth



CHORUS:
  D              G
My daddy always told me do the best that you can

     C      G     D      G
To be a kind hearted sensitive hard working man

      D              G
But if the high road is closed and the lightnings comming down

        C    G        D     G
Sometimes you gotta man up and take the low road around

        C      G        D     G  G
Sometimes you gotta toughen up and take the low road around



VERSE:
   G            C      G
Now, needless to say my bully problems did cease

                  D      G
But I found myself in love with a two-timing cheat

                   C     G
When she left I wanted to die Lord I didn`t even eat

                    D       G
And in walks her little sister lookin all kinds of sweet



CHORUS:
    D             G
But my momma always said son you gotta try hard

      C        G        D      G
To find a woman that will love you for the man that you are

      D              G
But if the high road is closed and the lightnings comming down

        C    G        D     G
Sometimes you gotta man up and take the low road around

        C      G         D     G
Sometimes you gotta think quick and take the low road around

G  D G  D G
  Yeah,

VERSE:
    G                 C       G
When I took my song to Nashville Lord it didn`t take me long

                     D      G
To realize they ain`t helpin you if you don`t play along

                      C       G
I may not look and sound like money but my heart is in my song

                    D    G
Gonna keep doin it my way weather I`m right or wrong



CHORUS:
  D            G
My daddy always said don`t ever try to be

      C         G           D     G
Just like another one of them boys `cause you ain`t never gonna be

      D              G
And if the high road is closed and the landslides comming down

        C    G        D     G
Sometimes you gotta man up and take the low road around

        C      G        D     G
Sometimes you gotta toughen up and take the low road around

       C       G         D     G
Strap some chains on them tires and take the low road around
