[Verse]
G Cadd9
As the maid poured wine and we prepared to dine
D G
I knew I was feelin' out of place
G Cadd9
At a table as large as a river barge
D G
And "I love you" written all on your face
Cadd9
I appreciate your hospitality
G D
But I wish that we would go
G Cadd9
Let me drive us to McDonald's and I'll talk to you
D G
Concernin' somethin' you should really know
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
I'm just a common man, drive a common van
G D
My dog ain't got a pedigree
G Cadd9
If I have my say, it gonna stay that way
G Em
'Cause high-browed people lose their sanity
G D G
And a common man is what I'll be
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G Cadd9
I'll take a Chevrolet just any day
D G
So give your Daddy back his Mercedes Benz
G Cadd9
And there's some common people that I hang out with
D G
They're my good time buddies, they're my friends
Cadd9
And I'd rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser Beer
G D
Than sip a crystal glass of wine
G Cadd9
So won't you make your mind up to believe in me
D G
And leave this high livin' world behind
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
I'm just a common man, drive a common van
G D
My dog ain't got a pedigree
G Cadd9
If I have my say, it gonna stay that way
G Em
'Cause high-browed people lose their sanity
G D G
And a common man is what I'll be
[Break
Am Em
And I'm happy just being free
Am Em
And I'm happy just being me
Am D D
And I hope that you will see
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
I'm just a common man, drive a common van
G D
My dog ain't got a pedigree
G Cadd9
If I have my say, it gonna stay that way
G Em
'Cause high-browed people lose their sanity
G D G
And a common man is what I'll be
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
I'm just a common man, drive a common van
G D
My dog ain't got a pedigree
G Cadd9
If I have my say, it gonna stay that way
G Em
'Cause high-browed people lose their sanity
G D G
And a common man is what I'll be
