Lyrics

Verse 1:
I've never been on TV
Hell, I'm no celebrity,
yet I've known politicians and musicians
and found they're just like me.
Verse 2:
I've done so many things
from rodeos to diamond rings
I've built this life with my wife,
it's beyond my imaginings.
Chorus:
Well you know I've paid my dues
and when my life is through
I'll know this wasn't a game of chance.
It's just an extraordinary life of an ordinary man.(x2)
Verse 3:
I've done things before I should
Lived things before I could.
I've seen things that would curl your hair, it's been a wing and prayer and
living it over again; well I would.
Verse 4:
Well, I've been stabbed and I've been shot,
oh, the bar fights I have fought,
My big old mouth, it went South and
deserved everything I got.
Verse 5:
I remain a simple man, just trying to work my plan.
I know it's hard, I'm holding all the cards, but I'm doing what I can.
Verse 6:
My family is why I work so hard, earning all my battle scars.
but I'll press on, until I'm gone, for I know
I'm a man of my word.
Ending:
Repeat Chorus
It's just an extraordinary life of an ordinary man.
Ordinary Man!
