Story

Jimmy is a late night lover

Teresa is the homecoming queen

Randall is a high school football star

Just living that small town dream, yup

Jesse went and joined the Navy

After her and Terry broke up

Well, Charlie ran off to Vegas

Ran into a big long line of bad luck

Everybody got their good days, bad days, ups and downs

We're all on the same world, spinning around

Flying with the birds, sinking with the stones

Living on prayers, keeping up with the Joneses

Some got a little and some got a lot

Some of us are lost, some of us are not

But everybody got their moment in glory

Guess everybody got their story

Janice wants to write like Faulkner

Steven wants to sing like Bruce

Now, Dylan wants to smoke with Willie

And come to think of it, I do too, yeah

Sally's gonna be a momma, momma

At the ripe age of seventeen

And my grand daddy's married to his sweet heart

He just turned eighty-three

Everybody got their good days, bad days, ups and downs

We're all on the same world, spinning around

Flying with the birds, sinking with the stones

Living on prayers, keeping up with the Joneses

Some got a little and some got a lot

Some of us are lost, some of us are not

But everybody got their moment in glory

Guess everybody got their story, yeah

Yeah, oh, come on now

I said everybody got their ups and downs

We're all on the same world, spinning around

Either flying with the birds, sinking with the stones

Living on prayers, keeping up with the Joneses

Some got a little and some got a lot

Some of us are lost, thank God some of us are not

But everybody got their moment in glory

Guess everybody got their story, yeah

Yeah, no, oh yeah

Everybody, everybody

(Love is a word that's often misused)

(But I believe that love is a word that's not used enough)
