Everyday America Lyrics

Sugarland

Grew up on a tired road 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 Good man for the bad year Visions of sugarplums and boxes of roses All my girlfriends cried and I was out of here
Oh, everybody's dreamin' big Oh, everybody's just gettin' 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 away to stay back in '85 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 And he wouldn't trade a day for all those Friday nights
Oh, everybody's dreamin' big Oh, everybody's just gettin' 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 lookin' for the reasons why In a place so dark can we see the light Either way it will be alright
Oh, everybody's dreamin' big Oh, everybody's just gettin' by That's how it goes in everyday America A little town and a great big light
Oh, everybody's dreamin' big Oh, but everybody's just gettin' 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
I don't [Incomprehensible]

it isnt took us all away to stay back in 85... its took us all the way to state back in 85 thats what the trophy is for a state championship

RockMalone

there's only one good line in the entire song: the opening couplet after that it's a downhill slide into hack land

kellyr

That's how it goes, Everyday America!! Sweet song, true meaning.

And also, I know this doesn't really matter, but It's technically 'Oh Whoa', not just 'Oh'.

PARTAYgal7

And I think the first line is 'Grew up on a tight rope'
