Average Man Lyrics - Singles - Bachman - Turner Overdrive

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
