Discover the story of the song > Where Have All The Average People Gone – Roger Miller

The protagonist feels like they don't belong and people from different groups judge him. City people think he's country, country people think he's citified. Fighting men think he's a coward and gentle people think he's a troublemaker. Even the government has given him a number to simplify his life and death. Despite all this, his partner still thinks he's important. He wonders where all the average people have gone.
