On the Level

My life it didn't quite turn out The way I always dreamed about My pockets never filled with gold My story has remained untold But I ain't giving up On my half empty cup No I ain't giving up I've seen the end of many life long dreams I've made mistakes but never learned a lesson Till I met a girl with sunshine eyes She showed me how to live on the level She said until you learn to trust yourself You're never gonna be on the level On the level My sails they never filled with wind Good luck it hasn't quite kicked in Battalions never stormed the gate My backup always came to late But how much do you wanna bet That you ain't seen nothing yet How much do you wanna bet That you ain't seen nothing yet I've seen the end of many life long dreams I've made mistakes but never learned a lesson Till I met a girl with sunshine eyes She showed me how to live on the level She said until you learn to trust yourself You're never gonna be on the level On the level Money, money, money, money can change you My life it didn't quite turn out The way I always dreamed about My pockets never filled with gold My story has remained untold But I ain't giving up On my half empty cup No I ain't giving up On my half empty cup I've seen the end of many life long dreams I've made mistakes but never learned a lesson Till I met a girl with sunshine eyes She showed me how to live on the level She said until you learn to trust yourself You're never gonna be on the level On the level
