I went down to Austin For a one night stand When I pulled in She handed me A list of her demands She wrote Hopes and dreams And diamond rings It was more than I could stand I tipped my hat And raised my glass For the Modern Man You gotta walk your way (walk you way) And I'll walk my way (walk your way) I can’t waste my time pleasing all the world You gotta walk your way girl I set out Across the states With just one thing in mind Mini-skirts And low cut shirts, but All that I could find Were hopes and dreams And diamond rings They don’t understand I tipped my hat And raised my glass For the Modern Man You gotta walk your way (walk you way) And I'll walk my way (walk your way) I can’t waste my time pleasing all the girls You gotta walk your way (walk you way) And I'll walk my way (walk your way) I can’t spend my life pleasing all the world You gotta walk your way girl Walk your way girl
