Take The High Road

Take The High Road
@Rick Lang/Troy Engle


Chorus
Take the high road...let your conscience be your guide
Take the high road.......do what you know is right
When you’re standing at the fork, and you don't know which way to go
......Take the high road


It was on a Sunday morning at the grocery store
Daddy saw something lying on the dirty floor
A brown leather wallet some poor soul had dropped
All that green sticking out, daddy's heart stopped

Now just the day before Mr. Johnson stopped in
Looking for the rent, cause we were late again
If daddy kept the money, our debt would be paid
When daddy gave it back, I learned a lesson that day

Chorus

He looked into the wallet and found the name inside
Daddy stood there speechless, his jaw open wide
Turns out he knew the owner and right where he could be found
We hopped into the truck and headed into town

Name on the mailbox gave it all away
When daddy pulled up at mr Johnson's house that day
Handed him the wallet, wasn't missing a cent
Instead of saying thank you, he said "don't you worry about that rent"

Chorus
He took the high road, let his conscience be his guide
He took the high road, did what he knew was right
When you’re standing at the fork and don't know which way to go
....take the high road
