Average

it's the middle of the road
or sitting on the fence.
it's doing your best just to make ends meet.
everything i am is average.
i do okay but i never get ahead.

i look typical, i guess,
for a mid west girl.
i did my best to leave the nest,
but i didn't get very far away.
at the end of the day,
it's always just okay.

i have an average iq,
and an average attitude.
i won't complain,
because i wasn't raised that way.
i'd love to find one man
that thinks i am beautiful just the way i am.

i use average words
and i make average pay.
my waistline, though large,
is the new average these days.
i am an average worker.
i do okay on an average day.

i used to tear myself apart.
i critized myself against perfect stars.
i now accept my average face.
God doesn't make mistakes.
He made me to be average from the start.
so i'm okay with being average today.
