The Average Life Of A Daily Man

(album: Established 1958 - 1968)

Drifting along with his head in the clouds
Never had time to get this feet on the ground
Thinks he's got something the world's needing bad
Waits for the real big break that he's never had

He's gonna wait forever
Can't accept that he will never make it
Just the average life of a daily man

Taking his coffee from people he meets
Smiles at the young girl who will buy him his eats
Tells her he knows that he will make it soon
And when he does he's gonna buy her the moon

She's gonna wait forever
Wonder if she knows he'll never make it
Just the average life of a daily man

And I've got the sense to realize
Although he tries with puffed up lies
To blind the eyes of friends he's still a would-be
Well he'll never rise to any heights
Try as he might, this world is tight
Don't give no flight on first class seats to would-be's

He's gonna wait forever
Can't accept that he will never make it
Just the average life of a daily man
Average life of a daily man
