Ordinary Life lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Ordinary Life lyrics (Bonnie Baker/Connie Harrington) Shelly s at the kitchen table, cup of coffee the morning paper When 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 dreams are waiting for me But I can t do this anymore Pay the bills, watch TV, day in, day out the same routine 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" Shelly s at the kitchen table, crayons, construction paper "Hey Mom, look what I drew, it s a picture of me and you" And later when he says his prayers, she runs her fingers through his hair So thankful for every day They pay their bills, watch TV, day in, day out, it s all they need 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 life 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 To pay the bills, watch TV, day in, day out the same routine Mow the grass, fix the leak, just to fix it again 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" song lyrics
