| 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
|
| And that might not mean much to you
|
| But it does to me
|
| So say I’m a middle of the road
|
| Not much to show
|
| Underachieving, average Joe
|
| But I’m a hell of a lover
|
| A damn good brother
|
| And I wear this heart on my sleeve
|
| And that might not mean much to you
|
| But it does to me
|
| 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 standing next to my best friend
|
| The day the love of his life said «I do» to him
|
| I was a couple beers deep
|
| But I still remembered that speech
|
| And that might not mean much to you
|
| But it does to me
|
| So say I’m a middle of the road

|
| And I wear this heart on my sleeve
|
| And that might not mean much to you
|
| But it does to me
|
| There’s a worn-out blade that my granddaddy gave me
|
| My mama’s first Bible, Daddy’s Don Williams vinyl
|
| That first-fish-catching Zebco thirty-three
|
| Well, that might not mean much to you
|
| But it does to me
|
| So say I’m a middle of the road

|
| A damn good brother
|
| And I wear this heart on my sleeve
|
| And I’m a damn hard working
|
| 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
