Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who are you, and who am I
To think that we could ever fly?
It don't pay to even try
Work, get paid, and just get by
[Verse 2]
Sons of sons, bricks on bricks
What's broken, you don't try to fix
'Round here, there ain't no whys and ifs
You don't pick up what you can't lift
[PreChorus]
I raise my hands up to the sky
Don't need more to tell me I'm alive
[Chorus]
Got what I want 'cause I got what I need
Got a fistful of friends that'll stand up for me
Right where I am
Is where I wanna be
Friday night comes around like a song
Sweet Caroline, and we all sing along
Got my brown-eyed girl, and she believes in me
Legendary
[Verse 3]
I know this town like the back of my hand
Every crack in the sidewalk tells me who I am
"Live and you love" is the law of the land
These are our dreams, that's where we stand
[PreChorus]
Raise my hands up to the sky
Don't need more to tell me I'm alive
[Chorus]
Got what I want 'cause I got what I need
Got a fistful of friends that'll stand up for me
Right where I am
Is where I wanna be
Friday night comes around like a song
Sweet Caroline, and we all sing along
Got my brown-eyed girl, and she believes in me
Legendary
[Bridge]
Who are you, and who am I
To think that we could ever fly?
[Chorus]
Got what I want 'cause I got what I need
Got a fistful of friends that'll stand up for me
Right where I am
Is where I wanna be
Friday night comes around like a song
Sweet Caroline, and we all sing along
Got my brown-eyed girl, and she believes in me
Legendary
[Outro]
Legendary
