Jimmy is a late night lover
Teresa is the homecoming queen
Randall is a high school football star just living that small-town dream, yep
And Jessie went and joined the Navy
After her and Terry broke up
While Charlie ran off to Vegas and ran into a big long line of bad luck

Everybody got their good days, bad days, ups and downs
We're all on the same world
Spinning around, flying with the birds
Sinking with the stones, living on prayers
Keeping up with the Joneses
Some got a little, some got a lot
Some of us are lost, some of us are not
But everybody got their moment in glory
'Cause everybody got their story
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Janice wants to write like Faulkner
Steven wants to sing like Bruce
Now Dilly wants to smoke with Willie
And come to think of it, I do too, yeah
Sally's gonna be a ma-ma ma-ma
At the ripe age of 17
And my granddaddy married to his sweetheart
He just turned 83

Everybody got their good days, bad days, ups and downs
We're all on the same world, spinning around
Flying with the birds, sinking with the stones
Living on prayers
Keeping up with the Joneses
Some got a little, some got a lot
Some of us are lost, and some of us are not
But everybody got their moment in glory
'Cause everybody got their story
Yeah, yeah, oh, come on now

I said, everybody got their ups and downs
We're all on the same world
Spinning around, flying with the birds
Sinking with the stones, living on prayers
Keeping up with the Joneses
Some got a little, some got a lot
Some of us are lost, and some of us are not
But everybody got their moment in glory
'Cause everybody got their story

Yeah, yeah
Ra-da-dum, da-da-dum, da-da-da-da
Yeah, n-n-n-n no, yeah
Everybody, everybody
Di-di-dum-da-da
Ri-di-dum-da-da, dei
Ra-da-dum, da-da-dum, da-da-da-da
Yeah, oh yeah
Hahaha, yeah

Love is a word that's often misused
But l believe love is a word that's not used enough
