Verse:
Just a story from America
He left his job and he looked at her
I ve had enough he put down his cup
And every time she would fill it up
Chorus:
When she d say
Get up when they put you down
But like a boxer
You just spin around
Your kind of guy is so very few
Don t ever let them get the best of you
Verse:
And so he s working like a dog each day
And every week there d be more overtime pay
And pretty soon he s got a Cadillac car
And on the weekends he would drive so far
Bridge:
And they don t slow down
America s such a speedy town
Hot clothes high society
He said it never get the best of me
Verse:
And then he met a girl with hair like the sun
With social status she was number one
He left it all and he left downtown
A little voice follows him around
Chorus:
And it d say
Get up when they put you down
And like a boxer
You just spin around
Your kind of guy was so very few
I thought they d never get the best of you
End:
Just a story of America
Just a story fro in America
Just a story of America
Just a story from America
