Average Doesn’t Live Here Anymore

It's all well and good,

When your on the up and up,

But things can get rough,

Being good enough.

There's no need to feel down,

When you're the only one around,

No need to bluff,

You're good enough.

Out there in the clear,

No one standing near,

Made of the right stuff,

You're good enough.

If the best you ever had,

Is getting just better than bad,

It becomes tough love,

Being good enough.

One angle shows light,

Things are alright,

You're out of the bluff,

You're good enough.

On the darker side of things,

The fat lady sadly sings,

The going got tough,

You're not good enough.

Comfortably you settle,

Not showing any mettle,

The least amount of stuff,

Now, isn't good enough.

When you're out there with the rest

And the best put you to the test,

Life let's you know you're in the rough,

When good doesn't come close to good enough.
