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 Im 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 didnt get luck
But I still felt like a king
And that might not mean much to you
But it does to me
So say Im a middle of the road
Not much to show
Underachieving, average Joe
But Im 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 will never get it back
But Im 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 Im a middle of the road
Not much to show
Underachieving, average Joe
But Im 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
Theres a worn-out blade that my Granddaddy gave me
My Mamas first Bible, Daddys 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 Im a middle of the road
Not much to show
Underachieving average Joe
But Im a hell of a lover
A damn good brother
And I wear this heart on my sleeve
And Im a damn hard working
One things for certain
I stand up for what I believe
And that might not mean much to you
But it does to me Yeah, it does to me
And that might not mean much to you
But it does to me
Oh, it does to me
Oh man, it does to me
