I don't buy that free lip service

Suits and rich folks don't make me nervous no

But I respect the law and those below the clay

And I don't answer to those who question

My job my lingo or my religion

See I know well those are choices I made

I take the high in the road

I give the light of the load

I live my life with passion and love

I'm a man not a fraction of

Me and my friends tend to spend time

Laughing at jokes with the same ol' punch lines

Still I wouldn't trade those wasted days

Oh that's right

And I don't always learn my lesson

Haven't left the best first impressions

And my baby knows I'm stubborn and stuck in my ways

I take the high in the road

I give the light of the load

I live my life with passion and love

I'm a man not a fraction of

I take the high in the road

I give the light of the load

I live my life with passion and love

I'm a man not a fraction of

Aw let's play

The eagle flies with the right and left wings

I'm partial to farmers with small town families

No I don't forget where I was born and raised

And I don't claim to be a Rhodes scholar

I'm rough on the edges blue in the collar

But I ain't alone I'm feeling proud to say

I take the high in the road

I give the light of the load

I live my life with passion and love

I'm a man not a fraction of

I take the high in the road

I give the light of the load

I live my life with passion and love

I'm a man not a fraction of

I take the high in the road

I give the light of the load

I live my life with passion and love

I'm a man not a fraction of
