Grew up on a tightrope, learned to smile
|
Even when I was falling down
|
Daddy had a hard hand and Mama always had hope
|
And me and my sister couldn't wait to get out
|
Fell in love out of college
|
Good man but a bad year
|
Visions of sugarplums and boxes of roses
|
All my girlfriends cried and I was outta here
|
|
Oh, whoa, everybody's dreaming big
|
Oh, whoa, but everybody's just getting by
|
That's how it goes in everyday America
|
A little town and a great big life
|
|
Joey stares at a trophy
|
Took us all the way to state back in '85
|
A shining moment and a dusty reminder
|
He never felt so scared, he never felt so alive
|
Now there's toys in the backyard
|
Daddy's boys, yeah, you know how they like to fight
|
When they sleep, he swears they're angels
|
He wouldn't trade a day for all those Friday nights
|
|
Oh, whoa, everybody's dreaming big
|
Oh, whoa, but everybody's just getting by
|
That's how it goes in everyday America
|
A little town and a great big life
|
|
We can laugh, we can cry
|
We're all just looking for the reasons why
|
In a place of dark can we see the light
|
Either way it'll be alright
|
|
Oh, whoa, everybody's dreaming big
|
Oh, whoa, but everybody's just getting by
|
That's how it goes in everyday America
|
A little town and a great big life
|
|
Oh, whoa, everybody's dreaming big
|
Oh, whoa, but everybody's just getting by
|
That's how it goes in everyday America
|
A little town and a great big life
|
A little town and a great big life
|
|
A little town and a great big life
