Lyrics Steve Earle

Steve Earle

Regular Guy

I'm just a regular guy

Never get rich, but I always get by

I got me a wife and a couple a 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

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 and I'll work until the day that I die

I'm too young to quit, 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
