When you get lonely with no place to turn
Memories of the old days
Makes your heart to yearn
For the good times when we thought
All our love would grown
But you took the high road
I took the low
You were always a high brow
You tried to change me
You tried to make me something
I never could be
Smoke filled bars and poolrooms
Is where we'd always go
And you took the high road
I took the low
I tried my best to be like you
I wore your double-knit clothes
It took engraved invitations
To get to the places that we'd go
I know you've been on my heart
On money how hard
With the silver spoon in your nose
And you took the high road
I took the low
But if you ever change a man
And you want him back again
He'll be the one to change your ways
Before I begin
To take you back into my life
But my dreams are gone I know
You took the high road
I took the low
You took the high road I took the low
