High Steppin' Proud Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

I was a high steppin' proud man one time king of the sidewalk fed all the girls a line 

You came along and love laid a heavy hand on me 

High steppin' proud man went down to his knees 

For a while I enjoyed just bein' under your thumb 

But after a while the nerve of love grew numb 

Then I knew my heart was changing cryin' out long and loud 

To once again become a man high steppin' proud 

High steppin' proud man down on my knees 

Beckon to your every wish and your every need 

Oh I know it won't be long before I break those vows 

And once again become a man high steppin' proud 

[ 12str guitar ] 

There's a lot of things in life I'm glad I didn't miss 

And your good good love rates mighty high on the list 

But my restless spirit and a weddin' band don't get along somehow 

Especially since I long to be high steppin' proud 

High steppin' proud man...
