Sugarland - Everyday America lyrics

Grew up on a tightrope, learned to smile Even when I was falling down Daddy had a hard hand and Mama always had hope And me and my sister couldn't wait to get out Fell in love out of collage Good man for the bad year Visions of sugarplums and boxes of roses All my girlfriends cried and I was outta here Oooh, whoa, everybody's dreaming big Oooh, whoa, but everybody's just getting by That's how it goes in everyday America A little town and a great big light Joey stares at a trophy Took us all the way to state back in '85 A shining moment and a dusty reminder He never felt so scared, he never felt so alive We found his toys in the backyard Daddy's boys, yeah, you know how they like to fight When they sleep, he swears they're angels He wouldn't trade a day for all those Friday nights Oooh, whoa, everybody's dreaming big Oooh, whoa, but everybody's just getting by That's how it goes in everyday America A little town and a great big light We can laugh, we can cry We're all just looking for the reasons why In a place of dark can we see the light Either way it'll be alright Oooh, whoa, everybody's dreaming big Oooh, whoa, but everybody's just getting by That's how it goes in everyday America A little town and a great big light Oooh, whoa, everybody's dreaming big Oooh, whoa, but everybody's just getting by That's how it goes in everyday America A little town and a great big light A little town and a great big light A little town and a great big light
