About

Made in what I consider the prime of his music career, this song is an example of a perfectly crafted expression of a “this is who I am, take it or leave it….” theme. The tight guitar playing and musical style is perfectly crafted. Enjoy

Ordinary Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Try to understand
I'm not your ordinary man, still I can't deny
You go with me everywhere
When I'm dreamin' you still share my lonely nights

[Refrain]
Try to see my side
It's not your ordinary pride that keeps drivin' me on
It's that lonesome, restless feelin' that you feel under the gun
And it leads me to the highway but it keeps my body warm

[Bridge]
And as I wander to the cities and the towns
I get so lonesome knowin' you could be around
And when the show is over, there's a holiday motel
Another empty bottle and another tale to tell

[Verse 2]
Try to comprehend
I'm not your ordinary friend at the end of my life
I would pray that I could be
Returning to the shelter of your love

[Refrain]
Try to see my side
It's not your ordinary pride that keeps drivin' me on
It's that lonesome, restless feelin' that you feel under the gun
And it leads me to the highway but it keeps my body warm

[Bridge]
And as I wander to the cities and the towns
I get so lonesome knowin' you could be around
And when the show is over, there's a holiday motel
And another empty bottle and another tale to tell

[Verse 3]
Try to understand
I'm not your ordinary man, still I can't deny
You go with me everywhere
Like a shadow in the gloom
I remember all the good times
There's a ghost in every room
