Never met a man I didn't like
Highfalutin gent or Bowery bum
Yes, I've come a long way down the pike
Never met a man I didn't like


Never shook a hand I didn't like
Royal Prince of Wales or working Joe
Though I know life's one long rocky hike
Never met a man I didn't like


In all of my wandering
I've bumped into all kinds of people
Fancy cinema stars, false evangelists,
Politicians, morticians.
And I have reached the conclusion
While hiking the pike
Though I try and I try
Never once met a guy that I didn't like


I said I've roam along Nappa Valley
Shubert Alley, Ru de la Paix
Oklahoma and Kamalazoo oh oh oh
And I have reached the conclusion
While hiking the pike
Yes I'll say it til I'm done
No I never met one that I didn't like


Met the worst and met the best
Some that put me to the test
Almost made me change my mind
Yet somehow I always find
If you don't expect too much
There's a certain human touch
homosapiens have got, other animals have not


Try the shoes on that are his
Feel what makes him what he is
What's it like inside his skin
Living in the skin he's in
Just like me a lump of sod
There but for the grace of God
That is the philosophy of this part time Cherokee


President and king or Pat and Mike
Folks can laugh but I can't give up hope
Swung my rope a long way down the pike
Never met a man I didn't like


High tone gent, Bowery bum
Prince of Wales, working Joe
Pat and Mike, Cherokee, philosophy
I never met a man I didn't like
