Lyrics
Another hazy day
Everything's in disarray
Times never change
And then I realize
I'm just Joe Average Guy
Tryin' to make my way
Well it's hard to be a loser
When the game hasn't begun
And it's hard to be a loner
When you've never had no one
From here to California
I'm goin' searching for the sun
You can meet me at my table for one
You say I'm lonely
I could use some company
I'm tired of being free
I've never been in love
Not sure what I'm guilty of
Just take a chance on me
Well it's hard to be a loser
When the game hasn't begun
And it's hard to be a loner
When you've never had no one
From here to California
I'm goin' searching for someone
You can meet me at my table for one
It's like a far-off dream
Where you miss the final scene
Conclusions lost on me
I've chosen apathy
I've watched the world go by
And never wondered why
But that's history
Well I'll take control of me
A few more dues to pay
And I'll be on my way
It's time for a change
I look up to the sky
I kiss this place goodbye
It's a brand new day
Well it's hard to be a loser
When the game hasn't begun
And it's hard to be a loner
When you've never had no one
From here to California
I'm goin' searching for some fun
You can meet me at my table for one
