I was born up on a mountain while the snow was comin' in
But I woke up in this valley, pulled my collar to the wind
I saw the chance to catch a ride with a fair-weather friend
But I never met a shortcut wasn't longer in the end
Take the high road
Over the mountain pass
Take the high road
Goin' slow while everybody's goin' fast
It won't be the easy way sayin' what you wanna say
Take the high road, baby
Oh, lately I've been keepin' two feet down on the ground
Not causin' a commotion, tryin' not to make a sound
I wouldn't want somebody to get the wrong idea
But I'm tired of bein' quiet, time to face up to the fear
Take the high road
Over the mountain pass
Take the high road
Goin' slow while everybody's goin' fast
It won't be the easy way sayin' what you wanna say
Take the high road, baby
Take the high road
Over the mountain pass
Take the high road
Goin' slow while everybody's goin' fast
It won't be the easy way sayin' what you wanna say
Take the high road, baby
