She was bright and young pure as pearl
I was thinking up my line
Wild and free looking out for me
Not a care in my mind
We got close what do you know
I had an angel in my hand
I wanted struggle, smoke and rock n roll
All she wanted was a good man
She took the high road
I'm on a backstreet breaking down
I left home and found the scene
Playing late to pay my dues
She stayed behind living right
The way that she wanted to
Late at night she'd cross my mind
And I know I didn't get enough
But it's hard to reach an angel's love
When you're down here looking up
She took the high road
She took the high road
She took the high road
I'm on a backstreet breaking down
Don't stop for me don't stop for me
Don't you ever stop for me
Cause I love to see you flying high
I love to see you free
Take your high road
Take your high road
Take your high road
Just take the high road
Take the high road
