Steve Earle - Regular Guy lyrics

I'm just a regular guy
Never get rich but I always get by
I got me a wife and a couple of kids
I done pretty much like my daddy did
He always did the best that he could
Took care of Mama and us pretty good
He never got rich, but he never did try
He was just a regular guy

Well, the world goes around and
I can't stop it
So I'll sit back and watch the sun go down
If it comes back up
Then this day's a good one
You know I wouldn't be that surprised

I'm just a regular guy
Never be rich, but I'll always get by
Never get rich, never did try
I'm just a regular guy

I'm just a regular guy
And I'll work until the day that I die
I'm too young to quit, I'm too old to hire
These days a man can't afford to retire
Didn't vote for nobody last time
'Cause they wasn't worth a trickle down dime
But one man's promise is another man's lie
And I'm just a regular guy

Well, the world goes around and
I can't stop it
So I'll sit back and watch the sun go down
If it comes back up
Then this day's a good one
You know I wouldn't be that surprised

I'm just a regular guy
Never be rich, but I'll always get by
Never get rich, never did try
I'm just a regular guy

I'm just a regular guy
I'm just a regular guy
Never got rich, never did try
I'm just a regular guy
I'm just a regular guy
I'm just a regular guy
Never got rich, never did try
I'm just a regular guy
I'm just a regular guy
I'm just a regular guy
Never got rich, never did try
I'm just a regular guy
