I was a high steppin’ proud man one time
F
C
King of the sidewalk fed all the girls a line
F
C
You came along and love laid a heavy hand on me
G7
C
High steppin’ proud man went down to his knees
F
C
For a while I enjoyed just bein’ under your thumb
F
C
But after a while the nerve of love grew numb
F
C
Then I knew my heart was changing cryin’ out long and loud
G7
C
To once again become a man high steppin’ proud
G7
High steppin’ proud man down on my knees
C
Beckon to your every wish and your every need
F
C
Oh I know it won’t be long before I break those vows
G7
C
And once again become a man high steppin’ proud
F
C
There’s a lot of things in life I’m glad I didn’t miss
F
C
And your good good love rates mighty high on the list
F
C
But my restless spirit and a weddin’ band don’t get along somehow
G7
C
Especially since I long to be high steppin’ proud
G7
High steppin’ proud man down on my knees
C
Beckon to your every wish and your every need
F
C
Oh I know it won’t be long before I break those vows
G7
C
And once again become a man high steppin’ proud
C
