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
