INTRO:

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

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
