High Road

She was bright and young pure as pearl I was thinking up my line Wild and free looking out for me Not a care in my mind We got close what do you know I had an angel in my hand I wanted struggle, smoke and rock n roll All she wanted was a good man She took the high road I'm on a backstreet breaking down I left home and found the scene Playing late to pay my dues She stayed behind living right The way that she wanted to Late at night she'd cross my mind And I know I didn't get enough But it's hard to reach an angel's love When you're down here looking up She took the high road She took the high road She took the high road I'm on a backstreet breaking down Don't stop for me don't stop for me Don't you ever stop for me Cause I love to see you flying high I love to see you free Take your high road Take your high road Take your high road Just take the high road Take the high road
