I was a high steppin' proud man one time king of the sidewalk fed all the girls a line
You came along and love laid a heavy hand on me
High steppin' proud man went down to his knees
For a while I enjoyed just bein' under your thumb
But after a while the nerve of love grew numb
Then I knew my heart was changing cryin' out long and loud
To once again become a man high steppin' proud
High steppin' proud man down on my knees
Beckon to your every wish and your every need
Oh I know it won't be long before I break those vows
And once again become a man high steppin' proud

There's a lot of things in life I'm glad I didn't miss
And your good good love rates mighty high on the list
But my restless spirit and a weddin' band don't get along somehow
Especially since I long to be high steppin' proud
High steppin' proud man...
