Ordinary Town Lyrics - Singles - Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer

Common cool, he was a proud young fool in a kick-ass wal-mart tie 

Rippin down the main drag, trippin on the headlights rollin by 

In the early dawn when the cars were gone, did he hear the master's call? 

In the five-and-dime did he wake and find he was only dreamin after all, 'cause 

This is an ordinary town and the prophet stands apart 

This is an ordinary town and we brook no wayward heart 

And every highway leads you prodigal back home 

To the ordinary sidewalks you were born to roam 

Rock of ages, love contagious, shine the serpent fire 

So sang the sage of sixteen summers in the upstairs choir 

So sang the old dog down the street beside his wailing wall 

"Go home, go home" the mayor cried when jesus came to city hall, 'cause 

This is an ordinary town, and the prophet stands alone 

This is an ordinary town and we crucify our own 

And every highway leads you prodigal again 

To the ordinary houses you were brought up in 

Raised on hunches and junk food lunches and punch-drunk ballroom steps 

You get to believing you're even-steven with the kids at fast track prep 

So you dump your bucks on a velvet tux and you run to join the dance 

But your holy shows and the romans know you're just a child of 

Circumstance, 'cause 

This is an ordinary town and the prophet has no face 

This is an ordinary town and the seasons run in place 

And every highway leads you prodigal and true 

To the ordinary angels watchin over you
