Common Man (1983) Lyrics by John Conlee

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 McDonalds and Ill talk to you concerning something you should really know

Im just a common man drive a common van
My dog aint 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 Ill be

Ill take a Chevrolet just any day so give your daddy back his Mercedes Benz
And theres some common people that I hang out with
Theyre my good time buddies theyre my friends
And Id rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser beer then sip a crystal glass of wine
So wont you make your mind up to believe in me and leave this high living world behind?

Im just a common man drive a common van
My dog aint 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 Ill be

Yes Im happy just being free
And Im happy just being me
And I hop that you will see

Im just a common man drive a common van
My dog aint 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 Ill be

Im just a common man drive a common van
My dog aint 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 Ill be
