Bill Miller - Ordinary Man lyrics
Clyde woke up real early while Edna was still asleep Got dressed and had some coffee, then found his set of keys He pulled on his levi jacket, he headed for the door The kitchen smelled like dinner from the night before A rumbling exhaust pipe woke Edna from her sleep She stumbled like a drunkard yelling Clyde you wait for me But Clyde was going nowhere, just sitting in his truck Staring with a poker face, like he'd run out of luck CHORUS: Cause any fool would've turned and run Any fool would've walked away Any fool would've given up But an ordinary man, he chose to stay Now Edna, she couldn't say too much, she'd seen that look before She kept tapping on Clyde's window, till he opened up the door Then she put her arms around him, she never said a word And Clyde turned on the radio and neither of them heard He said Edna why don't you hop in, I think I'll call in sick There's three one ways to a dead end street, now you just take your pick And she pointed to the ballfield and the park where they first kissed And Clyde grinned like he found something that he had almost missed CHORUS They spent that day in freedom, they hung on for many more Raised up quite a family, they found what love was for And the aging never slowed them down, they leaned on faith, not luck Still out taking Sunday drives in Clyde's old beat up truck You know Edna, she ain't no movie star and Clyde's a little slow The shopping mall's replaced the park where they both used to go But that's why they've both got each other, so they can keep their dreams alive The simple dreams, the common man, still stand the test of time CHORUS |
