Average Man

They say I make too much money, to fit in my pocket

Everyone wants to but no one can top it

I meet more people in a week on the line

Than one man can dream of in his whole lifetime

Can you understand, I'm an average man

Tryin' to make a livin' do the best that I can

Can you understand, I'm an average man

But my name is in lights, lights, lights

They stop and stare at our houses and farms

They settled for less, we reached for the stars

They're wishin' not workin' and that's not the way

For what comes too easy is thrown away

Can you understand, I'm an average man

Tryin' to make a livin' do the best that I can

Can you understand, I'm an average man

But my name is in lights, lights, lights

We got the future to win, nothing to lose

What's done is behind us, we live how we choose

Everyone's different, but one thing's the same

You can't be a winner if you don't play the game

Can you understand, I'm an average man

Tryin' to make a livin' do the best that I can

Can you understand, I'm an average man

But my name is in lights
