Story Behind The Song

guy who won't sacrifice his priciples to live in girlfriend's high society lifestyle

Lyrics

So you tried to make me walk the straight and narrow
But you see that I can only walk so far
Then I start to run away it's in my marrow
I would rather walk than drive that fancy car


Tie dyed loosely fitted tee shirts
Silk ties don't go with my jeans
I've tried many times it don't work ,it just hurts
Or so it seems

There's been times I've had the wind behind to push me
There's been times it goes and hits me in the face
But of all the times that I've been down this same road
I never wind up in the same old place



If you just can wait around another minute
You might get to see me leaving once again
I believe I'm gonna try and set the record
For the fastest exit ever done by man
