Story (Live)
Say Jimmy is a late night lover
Teresa is the homecoming queen
Randall is a high school football star just living that small-town dream, yep!
And Jessie went and joined the Navy
After her and Terry broke up
While Charlie ran off to Vegas and ran into a big long line of bad luck
Everybody got their good days, bad days, ups and downs
We're all on the same world spinning around
Flying with the birds, sinking with the stones
Living on prayers, keeping up with the Joneses
Some got a little, some got a lot
Some of us are lost, some of us are not
But everybody got their moment in glory
As everybody got their story
Janice wants to write like Falkner
Steven wants to sing like Bruce
Now Dilly wants to smoke with Willie
And come to think of it I do too, yeah
Sally's gonna be a mama, mama at the ripe age of 17
And my granddaddy's married to his sweetheart
He just turned 83
Everybody got their good days, bad days, ups and downs
We're all on the same world spinning around
We done flying with the birds, sinking with the stones
Living on prayers, keeping up with the Joneses
Some got a little, some got a lot
Some of us are lost, some of us are not
But everybody got their moment in glory
As everybody got their story, yeah
I said everybody got their ups and downs
We're all on the same world spinning around
We done flying with the birds, sinking with the stones
Living on prayers, keeping up with the Joneses
Some got a little, some got a lot
Some of us are lost, some of us are not
But everybody got their moment in glory
Everybody got their story, yeah
Ra-da-dum, da-da-dum, da-da-dum-dow
Yeah na, na, no, ohh, yeah
Everybody, everybody
