Common Man Lyrics - Classics - John Conlee

As the maid poured wine and we prepared to dine 

I knew I was feelin' out of place 

At a table as large as a river barge 

And "I love you" written all on your face 

I appreciate you hospitality 

But I wish that we would go 

Let me drive us to McDonalds and I'll talk to you 

Concernin' somethin' you should really know 

I'm just a common man, drive a common van 

My dog ain't got a pedigree 

If I have my say, it gonna stay that way 

'Cause high-browed people lose their sanity 

And a common man is what I'll be 

I'll take a Chevrolet just any day 

So give your Daddy back his Mercedes Benz 

And there's some common people that I hang out with 

They're my good time buddies, they're my friends 

And I'd rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser Beer 

Than sip a crystal glass of wine 

So won't you make your mind up to believe in me 

And leave this high livin' world behind 

I'm just a common man, drive a common van 

My dog ain't got a pedigree 

If I have my say it's gonna stay that way 

'Cause high-browed people lose their sanity 

And a common man is what I'll be 

And I'm happy just being free 

And I'm happy just being me 

And I hope that you will see 

I'm just a common man, drive a common van 

My dog ain't got a pedigree 

If I have my say, it gonna stay that way 

'Cause high-browed people lose their sanity 

And a common man is what I'll be
