GREW UP
ON A TIGHTROPE
LEARNED TO SMILE
EVEN WHEN I WAS
FALLIN' DOWN
DADDY HAD
A HARD HAND
AND MAMA
ALWAYS HAD HOPE
AND ME AND MY SISTER
COULDN'T WAIT
TO GET OUT
I FELL IN LOVE
OUT OF COLLEGE
A GOOD MAN
BUT A BAD YEAR
VISIONS OF
SUGARPLUMS
AND BOXES OF ROSES
ALL MY GIRLFRIENDS
CRIED
AND I WAS
OUTTA HERE
WOAH OOH WOAH OOH
EVERYBODY'S
DREAMIN' BIG
WOAH OOH WOAH OOH
EVERYBODY'S
JUST GETTIN' 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 EIGHTY-FIVE
A SHININ' 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 ARE ANGELS
AND HE WOULDN'T
TRADE A DAY
FOR ALL THOSE
FRIDAY NIGHTS
WOAH OOH WOAH OOH
EVERYBODY'S
DREAMIN' BIG
WOAH OOH WOAH OOH
EVERYBODY'S
JUST GETTIN' 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 LOOKIN'
FOR THE REASONS WHY
IN A PLACE OF DARK
'TIL WE SEE THE LIGHT
EITHER WAY
IT'LL BE ALRIGHT
WOAH OOH WOAH OOH
EVERYBODY'S
DREAMIN' BIG
WOAH OOH WOAH OOH
EVERYBODY'S
JUST GETTIN' BY
THAT'S HOW IT GOES
IN EVERYDAY AMERICA
A LITTLE TOWN
AND A GREAT BIG LIFE
WOAH OOH WOAH OOH
EVERYBODY'S
DREAMIN' BIG
WOAH OOH WOAH OOH
EVERYBODY'S
JUST GETTIN' 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
I DON'T NEED
NO OTHER LIFE
