High Steppin` Proud — текст песни (Tom T. Hall)

I was a high steppin` proud man one time king of the sidewalk fed all the girls a line
You came along and love laid a heavy hand on me
High steppin` proud man went down to his knees
For a while I enjoyed just bein` under your thumb
But after a while the nerve of love grew numb
Then I knew my heart was changing cryin` out long and loud
To once again become a man high steppin` proud
High steppin` proud man down on my knees
Beckon to your every wish and your every need
Oh I know it won`t be long before I break those vows
And once again become a man high steppin` proud
[ 12str guitar ]
There`s a lot of things in life I`m glad I didn`t miss
And your good good love rates mighty high on the list
But my restless spirit and a weddin` band don`t get along somehow
Especially since I long to be high steppin` proud
High steppin` proud man...
