Average Man Lyrics by John Phillips

Phillips 66

0

I'm much older than the average man that you date
And I can be colder than the average man that you hate
You're so much prettier than anything the average man
Could appreciate

I'm sixty-five, still alive
And I'm feeling great

It was an average night, you were a lovely sight for me to see
But when I saw you there
I never thought that you, you were meant for me
I'm just an average man pullin' an average scam
With nobility

I'm sixty-five, still alive
And I'm feelin' free

I stared into my drink and I began to think, think about me
Thinking on my average life and my wasted opportunities
I got up from my stool, I felt like a silly old fool
I said, "Lady, will you dance with me?"
We danced all night long
'Til we cracked the dawn and you came home with me

Every now and again we meet and then we celebrate
When the moon's in the wind and the willow won't bend
We never hesitate
You're so much prettier than anything the average man
Could appreciate

I'm sixty-five, still alive
And I'm feeling great
You're so much prettier than anything the average man could appreciate

I'm sixty-five, still alive, and I'm feeling great
Well, I'm sixty-five, still alive, and I'm feeling great
