I knew I was feeling out of place 

At a table as large as a river barge 

And I love you written all on your face.



I appreciate you hospitality 

But I wish that we would go 

Let me drive us to McDonalds 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 high-browed people lose their sanity 

And a common man is what I'll be 



I'll take a Chevrolet just anyday 

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 

Than 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 high-browed 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 high-browed 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 

If I have my say 

Gonna stay that way 

Cause high-browed people lose their sanity 

And a common man is what I'll be
