Ordinary Life (Album Version)

Ordinary Life - Chad Brock

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
