Lyrics
Verse 1
I can?t believe that I gotta get up and go to work today
Never figured on working a day past twenty five
Should have been a millionaire by know it?s getting on my nerves
It?s plain to me a life of luxury is just what I deserve
Chorus
Just never thought I would be
Just a regular guy on the street
I always figured me for a Rock Star
That?s more my speed
Verse 2
I can?t see busting my ass all day long and never have much fun
I?d rather be drunk by three and Patnap in the sun
Pretty soon I?m sure I?ll win the lottery and I?d say it?d be about time
Then I?ll get to start the life away from strife that I know to be mine
Chorus
Just never thought I would be
Just a regular guy on the street
I always pictured me in the movies
That?s more my scene
Bridge
It?s not that I want to rule the world or to never do a thing
I?m just looking for some freedom here and some well deserved relief
Verse 3
It?s heavy on my mind this wasting time I?m walking in my sleep
This to and fro has got to go, I?m wearing out my feet
As days go by my anger amplifies who am I to blame?
It?s can?t be me cause I?ve been waiting for the world to learn me name
Chorus
Just never thought I would be
Just a regular guy on the street
I always pictured me in the movies
I always pictured me in the movies
I always thought I?d be rich and famous
I guess we?ll see
