Lyrics

Ordinary Joe

When Joe leaves the factory
He is tired from the day
Still he's glad to see his wife and kids at home
He doesn't have much money
But he never complains-
When he's afraid, you'll never see it show.


Chorus- To them he's a hero
The best man they know
But to the rest of us, he is just
An Ordinary Joe.

He never went to school much
He was wild in his time
No one ever believed he'd settle down-
Yet he's always in a heartbeat of his children's growin' pains
Just one little guy in his little town

Chorus-To them he's a hero etc.

Bridge-
Ballgames and ballets
First love and first dates
Toothaches and heartaches
Ordinary things...

When Joe leaves the factory
That's when his day begins
In his hard hat and faded jeans, he's standing tall
As the debts keep mounting higher
And his back's against the wall,
He looks around and sees
He's got it all.

Chorus- To them he's a hero etc. (2x)
