Tim Be Told - Ordinary lyrics

Why am I such in a rush to be somebody? Leaving behind all the things I'd rather be I don't know how success ever mattered to me Daddy always told me only doctors and some lawyers succeed in what we call the present day My mama always said that I would never stand a chance in this world singing' my life away I may never be a times square poster And I'll never be on a popular magazine I may never be an actor on the big screen And I don't remember if I ever cared at all I'm just an ordinary guy, just getting by Riding the tide trying to hide I'm just an ordinary face, finding my place You won't remember my name after I go away Everyone tells me I'm a rare condition And maybe that God has a different plan for me I don't presume to know, the reason's a mystery People always telling me that I am something special, well it's too much pressure to take The preacher always told me that Jesus might be watching me throwing my life away I may never be a perfect person But I'll do my best to try to make you happy And I will never meet your expectations But I never cared at all I'm just an ordinary guy, just getting by Riding the tide trying to hide I'm just an ordinary face, finding my place You won't remember my name after I go away Count to thirty look around you can't find me Funny how I blend so well with the mob scene Twenty years and I'm still empty handed And I'm still here fading away I'm just an ordinary guy, just getting by Riding the tide trying to hide I'm just an ordinary face, finding my place You won't remember my name after I go away
