Ordinary Life Lyrics - Singles - 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
