June Christy - All of My Life lyrics

All of my life I've been
Dreamin' the wrong dream
Hopin' the wrong hope, singin' the wrong song
All of my life

All of my life I've been
Pickin' the wrong horse
Sayin' the wrong things
Makin' the wrong bets all of my life

I thought there was nothin' to life
Just wait for that lucky hunch -
Just throw that lucky punch, wham!
You too can be the champ
Yesterday you batted zero, hit a homer
You're a hero
I thought there was nothin' to life
Just wait for that lucky hunch
There must be somethin' more to it
Somewhere along the line, I blew it
All of my life I've been
Meeting the wrong crowd
Wearin' the wrong tie
Dancin' the wrong steps all of my life

All of my life I've been
Off on the wrong beam
Backing the wrong team
Dreaming the wrong dream
All of my life all of my life
All of my no-good life!

I thought the American dream was wait
For that one big break
Just give the dice a shake, wow!
You too can be on top
Be an overnight sensation!
Meet The Press and Face The Nation!
I thought the American dream was wait
For that one big break
There must be somethin' more to it
Somewhere along the line, I blew it

All of my life I've been
Learnin' the wrong tricks
Pullin' the wrong strings
Makin' the wrong moves all of my life

All of my life I've been
Off on the wrong beam
Backing the wrong team
Dreaming the wrong dream all of my life
All of my life all of my whole damn life!
