Everything's working out fine
You've got all the things you want and I've got mine
No more struggle and strife
Kickin' back and diggin'...it's a wonderful life
And then you awoke
To start the day out laughing
It's some kind of a joke
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's working hard to have some fun
First you want a million then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
City girls and small town boys
Lots of pretty people tryin' to make some noise
They'd be chilling if they only could
Instead of tryin' hard to look so good
But they try and they try
Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's working hard to have some fun
First you want a million then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's doing everything they can
Some will count on luck and some will make a plan
If you want to get it, got to get it done
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Mama said 'Listen to me,
I can't tell you what your life's gonna be
Every day there's something new, it's true
A light could shine on you'
But they try and they try
Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's working hard to have some fun
First you want a million then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's doing everything they can
Some will count on luck and some will make a plan
If you want to get it, got to get it done
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
