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 I'm 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 didn't get lucky

But I still felt like a king

And that might not mean much to you

But it does to me

So say I'm a middle of the road

Not much to show

Underachieving, average Joe

But I'm 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'll never get it back

But I'm 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 I'm a middle of the road

Not much to show

Underachieving, average Joe

But I'm 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

There's a worn out blade that my granddaddy gave me

My mama's first Bible, daddy's 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 I'm a middle of the road

Not much to show

Underachieving, average Joe (average Joe)

But I'm a hell of a lover

A damn good brother

And I wear this heart on my sleeve

And I'm a damn hard working

One thing's for certain

I stand up for what I believe

That might not mean much to you

But it does to me

Yeah, it does to me

That might not mean much to you

But it does to me

Oh, it does to me

Oh man, it does to me
