Story Behind The Song
I was writing for a local celebrity singer songwriter and he asked me to write an upbeat song about family values and the working man
he especially did not want anything depressing so this is what I came up with (he didn't like it )
But I do and so do my fans! so it's all good!!
Song Description
This is a song like Merle used to write a song for the common man (Or woman) one that almost everyone can relate to on some level A song that would cause a man to stop and consider what he has in life and why he has it
and a woman who doesn't receive the praise she deserves might feel alittle better for awhile.
This song is a crowd pleaser whenever i play it live Tell Garth to come out of retirement and record this one so we can both retire!!

Lyrics
I'm just an average everyday ordinary working man
Trying to make a living just the best I can
Trying to feed the family keep the wolf back from the door
I got a job and a house with a mortgage plan
A couple of kids and lordy my right hand
Yeah that lttle woman makes it all worth workin for
But every once in a while life will get me down
It'll push my face flat out on the ground
That's when I think about her love
And the metamorphosis just occurs
And I turn into Superman
Yeah I turn into Superman
Ccause i can leap over my tall problems in a single bound
Cause I turn into Superman
Yeah I turn into Superman
When i got her lovin this world can't get me down
Well between my job and the IRS
Sometimes I feel like giving up I guess
That everybody out there knows what I'm talkin about
When I'm feelin like a fighter in the fifteenth round
When this old worlds got me beaten down
I think about her love and the metamorphosis just occurs
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Sometimes this worlds like cryptonite
But I get her lovin each and every night
And when I got her lovin this world can't get me down
Yeah she's the best thing Superman's ever found
