Everybody's telling me I'm guilty of a felony
I took somebody's melody and put it in my song
I admit I'm lazy and my memory might be hazy
But I'd never be so crazy
'Cause I still know right from wrong

Been high enough to see over the mountain
Been high enough to fly above the rain
Been down so low stole pennies from the fountain
Been high enough to toss 'em back again

Everyday my honey says my jokes are not so funny
And I better earn some money if I wanna get her love
Though I know what I'm missin', I'm a man on a mission
Got a strong inner vision
And I thank the stars above

Been high enough to see over the mountain
Been high enough to fly above the rain
Been down so low stole pennies from the fountain
Been high enough to toss 'em back again

I believe it's down to fate
Whatever's meant to be
What I am and what I ain't
Is good enough for me
Been high enough to see over the mountain
Been high enough to fly above the rain
Been down so low stole pennies from the fountain
Been high enough to toss 'em back again

Been high enough to feel I really made it
Been high enough to throw it all away
Had a winning hand and I overplayed it
Been high enough to see it's all a game

Been high enough to know it's just a game
