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
