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
