Common Man (1983)
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 McDonaldâs and Iâll talk to you concerning something you should really know
Iâm just a common man drive a common van
My dog ainât 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 Iâll be
Iâll take a Chevrolet just any day so give your daddy back his Mercedes Benz
And thereâs some common people that I hang out with
Theyâre my good time buddies theyâre my friends
And Iâd rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser beer then sip a crystal glass of wine
So wonât you make your mind up to believe in me and leave this high living world behind?
Iâm just a common man drive a common van
My dog ainât 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 Iâll be
Yes Iâm happy just being free
And Iâm happy just being me
And I hop that you will see
Iâm just a common man drive a common van
My dog ainât 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 Iâll be
Iâm just a common man drive a common van
My dog ainât 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 Iâll be
