Lyrics:

(Bonnie Baker/Connie Harrington)Shelly's at the kitchen table, cup of coffee the morning paperWhen he walks in she's so surprised to see the tears in his eyesHe says, 'I love you, I'm so sorry, but bigger dreams are waiting for meBut I can't do this anymorePay the bills, watch TV, day in, day out the same routineMow the grass, fix the leak, just to fix it againWe go to church, go to work, so picture perfect that it hurtsI feel like I'm trapped inside this ordinary life'Shelly's at the kitchen table, crayons, construction paper'Hey Mom, look what I drew, it's a picture of me and you'And later when he says his prayers, she runs her fingers through his hairSo thankful for every dayThey pay their bills, watch TV, day in, day out, it's all they needMow the grass, fix the leak, just to fix it againThey go to church, go to school, everyday it's something newPrecious are the days as they go by in their ordinary lifePhone rings, he's calling from the airportIt's midnight, he's all alone againHe says, 'I can't believe how much I've missedAnd what I wouldn't giveTo pay the bills, watch TV, day in, day out the same routineMow the grass, fix the leak, just to fix it againGo to church, go to work, I can't tell you how this hurtsI miss my son, I miss my wife and my ordinary life'
