"High Road" lyrics

Everybody's talking
Let them say what they wanna say
Lord knows I won't be here tomorrow
Everybody's talking
No one's listening anyway
Feels like I'm running out of time to borrow

I've lived a good life with a family and a home
Still I don't think twice about sinners throwing stones

I'm gonna take the high road
Even when they put me down
I'm gonna take the high road
When it feels like Heaven can't be found
I'm gonna sip a little Tennessee whiskey
Light a little smoke out back
I'm gonna play guitar underneath them stars
Until the good Lord calls me back
When they go low, hey, don't you know
I'm gonna take the high road, yeah

Ain't nobody judging
You can do what you wanna do
I'm not your boss and I ain't your father
Ain't nobody judging
I'll do me and you do you
Life is short and I can't be bothered

I've tried to play nice - good people are hard to find
But I'll keep on searching even if I'm running blind

I'm gonna take the high road
Even when they put me down
I'm gonna take the high road
When it feels like Heaven can't be found
I'm gonna sip a little Tennessee whiskey
Light a little smoke out back
I'm gonna play guitar underneath them stars
Until the good Lord calls me back
When they go low, hey, don't you know
I'm gonna take the high road, yeah

Now I've lived my best life, the mistakes I made were mine
But I've lived a blessed life, and when the good Lord says it's time
The good Lord says it's time
I'm gonna take the high road, yeah

I'm gonna sip a little Tennessee whiskey
Light a little smoke out back
I'm gonna play guitar underneath them stars
Until the good Lord calls me back
When they go low, hey, don't you know
When they go low, I just get stoned
And take the high road

1, 2, 3...

And take the high road
Ooh yeah
And take the high road
Take the high road
Take, take the high road
Oh yeah, ooh yeah
Take the high road, the high road, the high, the high, the high
And take the high road
And take the high road
