lyrics

Wake up at the break of dawn
Before i even put my coffee on
I’m singing a song
Take the time to read the paper
Go for a walk and say hi to my neighbor
His name is Fred

Don’t have much
But it’s more than enough
Out here living the dream

The simple kind of life
Taking it easy just as hard as i can
A typical average guy
Getting on peacefully
Just an ordinary man
I’m just an ordinary man

Sun goes down in the evening
A home-cooked meal we’re eating
So good
Up all night watching movies
Had a couple beers feeling groovy
Oh yeah

Don’t have much
But it’s more than enough
Out here living the dream

The simple kind of life
Taking it easy just as hard as i can
A typical average guy
Getting on peacefully
Just an ordinary man
I’m just an ordinary man

Out here living the dream
Out here living the dream

An absolutely lovely, superb recording. Amazing melodies with that “infinite jangle” replete with great booming bass lines and Martin’s sympathetic and wistful vocals. Another collection of great tunes from Real Estate. mo497

Only discovered Men I Trust recently. I gotta say that they are now in my top 5 favourite artists of all time. I listen to a lot of different genres and there is nothing quite like these guys. Absolutely amazing! gman_origin
