All of my life I've been dreamin' the wrong dream
Hopin' the wrong hope, singin' the wrong song
All of my life
All of my life I've been pickin' the wrong horse
Sayin' the wrong things, makin' the wrong bets
All of my life
I thought there was nothin' to life
Just wait for that lucky hunch -
Just throw that lucky punch, wham!
You too can be the champ
Yesterday you batted zero, hit a homer, you're a hero
I thought there was nothin' to life;
Just wait for that lucky hunch
There must be somethin' more to it
Somewhere along the line, I blew it
All of my life I've been meeting the wrong crowd
Wearin' the wrong tie, dancin' the wrong steps
All of my life
All of my life I've been off on the wrong beam
Backing the wrong team, dreaming the wrong dream
All of my life all of my life
All of my no-good life!
I thought the American dream was wait for that one big break
Just give the dice a shake, wow!
You too can be on top, be an overnight sensation!
Meet The Press and Face The Nation!
I thought the American dream was wait for that one big break
There must be somethin' more to it
Somewhere along the line, I blew it
All of my life I've been learnin' the wrong tricks
Pullin' the wrong strings, makin' the wrong moves
All of my life
All of my life I've been off on the wrong beam
Backing the wrong team, dreaming the wrong dream
All of my life
All of my life
All of my whole damn life!
