"Take The High Road" lyrics

I was born up on a mountain
While the snow was coming in
But I woke up in this valley
Pulled my collar to the wind
I saw the chance to catch a ride
With a fair-weather friend
But I never met a shortcut
Wasn't longer in the end

Take the high road
Over the mountain pass
Take the high road
Going slow while everybody's going fast
It won't be the easy way
Saying what you want to say
Take the high road, baby

Oh, lately I've been keeping
Two feet down on the ground
Not causing a commotion
Trying not to make a sound
I wouldn't want somebody
To get the wrong idea
But I'm tired of being quiet
Time to face up to the fear

Take the high road
Over the mountain pass
Take the high road
Going slow while everybody's going fast
It won't be the easy way
Saying what you want to say
Take the high road, baby

Take the high road
Over the mountain pass
Take the high road
Going slow while everybody's going fast
It won't be the easy way
Saying what you want to say
Take the high road, baby
