That woman packed my suitcase She threw it out the door She told me it was over Don't come here anymore And when you get rejected It's a black-eye on your pride You can still look like a winner Don't let it cramp your style So I did not let the world See me wallow in defeat I found myself a big brass band Parading down the street I stepped to that big drumbeat Footloose fancy free I got out front and showed the world The finest side of me THEY THOUGHT THAT I WAS                 LEADING THE PARADE I MARCHED OFF IN THE SUNSHINE LIKE I SURE DID HAVE IT MADE I SURE DID HATE TO GO SO I PUT ON A HELLUVA SHOW... THEY THOUGHT THAT I WAS                 LEADING THE PARADE Just one little battle Was all I really lost I picked myself back up again Just like my Daddy taught I talked to me and told me "That old sun's still in the sky" And I boogied to the rhythm With my colors flying high CHORUS

They Thought That I Was Leading The Parade
That woman packed my suitcase She threw it out the door She told me it was over Don't come here anymore And when you get rejected It's a black-eye on your pride You can still look like a winner Don't let it cramp your style So I did not let the world See me wallow in defeat I found myself a big brass band Parading down the street I stepped to that big drumbeat Footloose fancy free I got out front and showed the world The finest side of me THEY THOUGHT THAT I WAS                 LEADING THE PARADE I MARCHED OFF IN THE SUNSHINE LIKE I SURE DID HAVE IT MADE I SURE DID HATE TO GO SO I PUT ON A HELLUVA SHOW... THEY THOUGHT THAT I WAS                 LEADING THE PARADE Just one little battle Was all I really lost I picked myself back up again Just like my Daddy taught I talked to me and told me "That old sun's still in the sky" And I boogied to the rhythm With my colors flying high CHORUS
