Verse

Just a story from America

He left his job and he looked at her

I've had enough he put down his cup

And every time she would fill it up

Chorus

 When she'd say

Get up when they put you down

 But like a boxer

 You just spin around

 Your kind of guy is so very few

 Don't ever let them get the best of you

Verse

 And so he's working like a dog each day

 And every week there'd be more overtime pay

 And pretty soon he's got a Cadillac car

 And on the weekends he would drive so far

Bridge

And they don't slow down

America's such a speedy town

Hot clothes high society

He said it never get the best of me

Verse

 And then he met a girl with hair like the sun

 With social status she was number one

 He left it all and he left downtown

 A little voice follows him around

Chorus

 And it'd say

Get up when they put you down

 And like a boxer

 You just spin around

 Your kind of guy was so very few

 I thought they'd never get the best of you

Just a story of America

Just a story fro in America

Just a story from America
