Shel Kagan - Head Held High lyrics

[Verse 1] Mama told me, ever since I was seven "Hold your head up high" My parents told me, ever since I was eleven "Hold your head up high" [Chorus 1] They said the answer was to become a dancer Hold your head up high Oh, just like I figured they're always disfigured With their head up high [Chorus 2] Now I am older, I'm getting so much bolder With my head up high Oh, as I figured just like I figured Since your head's up high, baby Oh, now just like I figured you know they was disfigured Hold your head high You know they says the answer was to become a dancer Hold your head up high, boy [Verse 3] Ever since I was a baby on my mama's knee Oh, just to listen to what have everybody told me And yes I did [Chorus 1] But still the answer was to become a dancer And hold your head up high But, just like I figured they're always disfigured They hold their heads up high [Bridge] Watch out Yeah Do the dog Oh, watch out [Chorus 2] And now I'm older they say that I'm so much bolder Got your head up high Oh, oh the answer was, hey become a dancer Head up high Well, but just like I figured they're always disfigured They got their heads up high But the answer was, now boy become a dancer With your head up high [Outro] Oh head up high, yeah, yeah, yeah Head up high, oh baby Head up high, oh oh Head up high, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Head up high Head
