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
