Shelly's at the kitchen table
Cup of coffee, the mornin' paper
When he walks in she's so suprised
To see the tears in his eyes
He says I love you, I'm so sorry
But bigger dreams are waiting for me
I cant 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
Its a picture of me and you
And later when he says his prayers
She runs her fingers through his hair
So thankful for everyday They pay their bills, watch tv
Day in, day out that'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
So precious are the days as they go by
In their ordinary life Phone rings, he's calling from the airport
Its midnight, he's all alone again
He says I can't belive 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
In my ordinary life
