lyrics

What a life to live
What a life to lead

This is a casting call for those who (want to be someone)
Take your ticket get in line
Waiting for them to call out for me (they won't be sorry)
Two seats down says he's guaranteed

The hatchback castaway at the corner of 28th and main
Rejection is to blame for why you'll never know his name
Waiting tables will never be his claim to fame

What a life to live
What a life to lead

She was a beauty queen and she (was only 19)
Tryin hard to get by
Maybe this life she'd give it a try (time passing by)
No disappointment would be a surprise

Cold feet and
Sore knees and
Feeding off of dreams in movies
We're just try'n to fit the motif

She made her way down to the corner of 28th and Main
She knows things will never be the same
Workin' awful hard for the fame

What a life to live
What a life to lead

Carving out a living running
Try'n to make the borderline
Something better must be coming
They can't let it be a waste of time

I've got your back if you've got mine
We can make it out sometime
