I was a third-string dreamer on a second-place team

But I was hell on wheels with a full head of steam

When coach put me in

And I'm still proud of that hit

I was a last resort to go to prom with the queen

Thanks to an ex-boyfriend who broke her heart that week

No, I didn't get lucky, but I still felt like a king

I was the one phone call when my brother went to jail

Pawned my guitar just to pay his bail

No, I'll never get it back

But I'm okay with that

I was the first man standin' next to my best friend

Day the love of his life said, "I do" to him

I was a couple beers deep, but I still remembered that speech

There's a worn-out blade that my granddaddy gave me

My mama's first Bible, Daddy's Don Williams vinyl

That first-fish-catchin' Zebco 33

Well, that might not mean much to you, but it does to me

Underachievin', average Joe (average Joe)

And I'm a damn hard workin', one thing's for certain

I stand up for what I believe (for what I believe)

That might not mean much to you, but it does to me (yeah, it does to me)

Oh, it does to me

Oh man, it does to me
