I grew up under normal conditions
|
Mom was the radio, Dad was the television
|
They both were doing the best that they could
|
Working 50 hour weeks and knocking on wood
|
I did my time in the public school system
|
I got good grades, never got a shred of wisdom
|
Can't blame my teachers for anything they did
|
You can't teach one on one with 33 kids
|
|
Ooh Ooh I'm doing all right
|
I work every day to get to Saturday night
|
Ooh Ooh I guess I'm doing O.K.
|
Living and dying the American way
|
|
I found the one, we put some roots down
|
Got a 2nd mortgage on the outskirts of town
|
Now we barbecue every 4th of July
|
Send our prayers and our fireworks up into the sky
|
|
Ooh Ooh I'm doing all right
|
I work every day to get to Saturday night
|
Ooh Ooh I guess I'm doing O.K.
|
Living and loving the American way
|
|
These days we're thinking 'bout kids of our own
|
Gonna turn this house into a home
|
In no time at all they'll be singing along
|
|
Ooh Ooh I'm doing all right
|
I work every day to get to Saturday night
|
Ooh Ooh I guess I'm doing O.K.
|
Living and dying the American way
