Well I've got great plans but I never seem to find the recipe and I'm cooking in my own stew - - it ain't where I want to be.

When I look around I see people striving just to get ahead, but I find it hard just to hold my own so I fantasize instead.

 

Chorus

Some folks are born with horseshoes up their  - - aaaasssssk anybody you see.

If you think all the while you'll get by on a smile, you'll be a fool just like me. 

 

As the years go by the less I try to afford the luxury. I'll enjoy the simple pleasures and some are still for free.

I don't mind just working hard, sometimes it feels alright. As long as I can be with you and love you through the night.

 

Repeat Chorus and break.

 

Now don't you try to judge me on a scale from one to ten. That old cliche should be thrown away and we can start all over again.

I'm not always straight but I think I'm great, and that's how I survive and I know I'm gonna love you,,,,,as long as we're alive.

 

Repeat Chorus and end.
