I went down to Austin
For a one night stand
When I pulled in
She handed me
A list of her demands

She wrote
Hopes and dreams
And diamond rings
It was more than I could stand

I tipped my hat
And raised my glass
For the Modern Man

You gotta walk your way (walk you way)
And I'll walk my way (walk your way)
I can’t waste my time pleasing all the world
You gotta walk your way girl

I set out
Across the states
With just one thing in mind
Mini-skirts
And low cut shirts, but
All that I could find

Were hopes and dreams
And diamond rings
They don’t understand

I tipped my hat
And raised my glass
For the Modern Man

You gotta walk your way (walk you way)
And I'll walk my way (walk your way)
I can’t waste my time pleasing all the girls

You gotta walk your way (walk you way)
And I'll walk my way (walk your way)
I can’t spend my life pleasing all the world

You gotta walk your way girl
Walk your way girl
