Common Man Songtext
von John Conlee

As the maid poured wine, and we prepared to dine
I knew I was feeling out of place
At table as large 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 pedigree
If I have my say, gonna stay that way
'Cause highbrow 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 pedigree
If I have my say, gonna stay that way
'Cause highbrow 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 hope that you will see

I′m just a common man, drive a common van
My dog ain't got a pedigree
If I have my say, gonna stay that way
′Cause highbrow 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 pedigree
And if I have my say, gonna stay that way
'Cause highbrow people lose their sanity
