Common Man

John Conlee


As the maid poured wine and we prepared to dine I know I was feeling out of place 
At table as large big as a river barge and I love you written all on your face 
I appreciate your hospitality but I wish that we would go 
Let me drive us to McDonald's and I'll talk to you concerning something you should really know 

I'm just a common man drive a common van 
My dog ain't got a no pedigree 
If I have my say, 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 then sip a crystal glass of wine 
So won't you make your mind up to believe in me and leave this high living world behind? 

I'm just a common man drive a common van 
My dog ain't got a no pedigree 
If I have my say, gonna stay that way 
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity 
And a common man is what I'll be 

Yes I'm happy just being free 
And I'm happy just being me 
And I hop that you will see 

I'm just a common man drive a common van 
My dog ain't got a no pedigree 
If I have my say, gonna stay that way 
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity 
And a common man is what I'll be 

I'm just a common man drive a common van 
My dog ain't got a no pedigree 
If I have my say, gonna stay that way 
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity 
And a common man is what I'll be
