Common Man

As the maid poured wine and we prepared to dine

I knew I was feeling out of place

At a table as large as a river barge

And I love you written all over your face

I appreciate your hospitality

But I wish that we would go

Let me drive us to McDonalds 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 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

Than 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 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

And I'm happy just being free

And I'm happy just being me

And I hope that you will see

I'm just a common man, drive a common van

My dog ain't got 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

Hey, common man, that is me, yes
