about

A country shuffle, a la Ray Charles.

lyrics

I wanted to be like Superman
Saving the planet and those in need.
I wanted his cape and all of his powers
To win the day at super speed.

I dreamed of adventure and glory
From battling fires to fighting crime
To run with the bulls, meet a beautiful stranger
I was there, in my dreams all the time.

Everything I ever wanted since I was a kid
Is waitin’ right under my nose
I didn’t need to struggle so hard
Everything I ever wanted is in my own backyard.

I wanted the power to fight injustice
And the wisdom to know right from wrong.
I wanted to dig real deep for the treasure.
But I found I had it in me all along.

Everything I ever wanted since I was a kid
Is waitin’ right under my nose
I didn’t need to struggle so hard
Everything I ever wanted is in my own backyard.

I don’t need no super powers
To offer a helping hand
Or plant a few seeds in my backyard
Watch’em flower, let’em spread.

Well, I find my adventure and glory
When I give a hundred percent.
And baby, you’re my beautiful stranger,
Miss Lois Lane, I’m your Mr. Clark Kent.

Everything I ever wanted since I was a kid
Is waitin’ right under my nose
I didn’t need to struggle so hard
Everything I ever wanted is in my own backyard.
