Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Average Man lyrics

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
