From: Eddie Garcia Date: 2 Mar 99 Subject: "Ordinary life" By Chad Brock Transcribed by: Eddie Garcia I hope I got it right, It sounds pretty good when I play it!!! Shelley's at the kitchen table, cup of coffee and the morning paper He walks in she's so surprised, to see the tears in his eyes He says I love you I'm so sorry, but bigger things are waiting for me And I can't take this anymore... I pay the bills, watch tv, day in day out the same routine I mow the grass, fix the leak just to fix it again We go to church go to work, so picture perfect that it hurts I feel like I'm trapped inside this ordinary life. Shelley's at the kitchen table, crayons and construction paper Hey mom look what I drew, it's a picture of me and you Then at night when she says their prayers She runs her fingers through his hair So thankful for every day... (chorus) They pay their bills, watch tv, day in day out it's all they need They mow the grass, fix the leak just to fix it again They go to church, go to school, everyday it's something new Precious are the days as they go by, in their ordinary lives. Phone rings he's calling from the airport It's midnight he's all alone again He'says I can't believe how much I've missed And what I wouldn't give... (chorus) To pay the bills, watch tv, day in day out the same routine To mow the grass, fix the leak just to fix it again To go to church, go to work I can't tell you how this hurts I miss my son I miss my wife, and my ordinary life!
