On the town for a while,

My money's low and,

My suit's out of style,

The right side of the tracks,

She was born and raised,

In a great big old house,

No one;

Is better than I,

I know;

I'm just an average guy.

No football hero,

Got empty pockets, you see;

Can't give her the things,

That money can buy,
D
But I'll never, never,
C/D
Make my baby cry,

And it's all right;

What I can't do,

Out of sight;

Because my heart is true,
