TAKE IT LIKE A MAN
(Blair Thornton / C.F. Turner)

Bachman-Turner Overdrive

Also recorded by: BTO Spider


Only three stops
To make in Alabama
Everyone
A one-night stand
Working for a man
Down South Louisiana
Cause ZZ ain't
His only band
Business has been
Good or bad
But sittin here
Will drive me mad

And I'm gonna get back
Where they want me
Get back
Where they want me
Get back
Where they want me
Make a stand
I'm gonna
Take it like a man

Met a stray woman
I think it was in Texas
She was made
For those who'd pay
Got a little drunk
And raised a mild ruckus
The city said
I could not stay
I guess I'm gonna
Have to change
Until this mess is
Rearranged

And I'm gonna get back
Where they want me
Get back
Where they want me
Get back
Where they want me
Make a stand
I'm gonna
Take it like a man

I guess I'm gonna
Have to change
Until my life is
Rearranged

And I'm gonna get back
Where they want me
Get back
Where they want me
Get back
Where they want me
Make a stand
I'm gonna
Take it like a man
