Grew up on a tight rope 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 college Good man for a bad year Visions of sugarplums and boxes of roses All my girlfriends cried, and I was outta here Whoa, whoa, everybody's dreaming big Whoa, whoa, everybody's just getting by That's how it goes in every day America A little town with a great big life Joey stares at a trophy Took us all the way to state back in '85 Shining moment and a dusty reminder He felt so scared, never felt so alive But now there's toys in the backyard Daddy's boys; 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 Whoa, whoa, everybody's dreaming big Whoa, whoa, everybody's just getting by That's how it goes in every day America A little town with a great big life 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 Whoa, whoa, everybody's dreaming big Whoa, whoa, everybody's just getting by That's how it goes in every day America A little town with a great big life Whoa, whoa, everybody's dreaming big Whoa, whoa, everybody's just getting by That's how it goes in every day America A little town with a great big life A little town with a great big life
