Ordinary

Lyrictext
Chicago wind blows my rain coat collar back
As I walk down the street with a brown paper sack
Which I carry French fries and a grilled cheese
To set up a banquet in my apartment, if you please
Fumble in my pocket for the front door key
I check my box to see if there's any mail for me
Boom, I switch on the light and try to sit down and relax

Lyricsvault.net the ultimate site for golden oldies and evergreens

But the spring in the couch keeps sticking me in the back
Just an ordinary day
Just the ordinary way of being all alone
Stare at the bare light bulb hanging overhead
I think back about what the morning newspaper said
About all the good poor people who can't get work
And more and more of our fine young men laying in the jungle dirt
Just an ordinary day
Just the ordinary way of being all alone
I turn on the TV and disgusted and turn it off
I heard some guy made 20 thousand just for playing golf
Maybe soon I'll save enough to fix up my place
But for now I'll just worry bout tomorrow, cause I'll face
Just an ordinary day
Just the ordinary way of being all alone
