Lyrics
Common Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
As the maid poured wine and we prepared to dine I know I was feeling out of place
At table as large big as a river barge and I love you written all on your face
I appreciate your hospitality but I wish that we would go
Let me drive us to McDonald's and I'll talk to you concerning something you should really know
I'm just a common man drive a common van
My dog ain't got a no pedigree
If I have my say, gonna stay that way
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity
And a common man is what I'll be
I'll take a Chevrolet just any day so give your daddy back his Mercedes Benz
And there's some common people that I hang out with
They're my good time buddies they're my friends
And I'd rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser beer then sip a crystal glass of wine
So won't you make your mind up to believe in me and leave this high living world behind?
I'm just a common man drive a common van
My dog ain't got a no pedigree
If I have my say, gonna stay that way
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity
And a common man is what I'll be
Yes I'm happy just being free
And I'm happy just being me
And I hop that you will see
I'm just a common man drive a common van
My dog ain't got a no pedigree
If I have my say, gonna stay that way
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity
And a common man is what I'll be
I'm just a common man drive a common van
My dog ain't got a no pedigree
If I have my say, gonna stay that way
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity
And a common man is what I'll be
