I'm not the world's greatest lover
I don't hang out in barrooms
I'm not a cowboy or a rodeo man
But I love the life I'm livin
And I love what life's been givin
To a plain and simple Ordinary Man

Seems like every song I hear
Is about a cowboy drinkin' beer
Or a man cheatin' on his wife
Well, I don't get where they're coming from
But I'd just like to hear one song
About a man who lives an ordinary life

I'm not the world's greatest lover
I don't hang out in barrooms
I'm not a cowboy or a rodeo man
But I love the life I'm livin
And I love what life's been givin
To a plain and simple Ordinary Man

I hear about the barroom queens
The angels in the songs they sing
But I guess I'm just too blind to see
I'm on the outside looking in
But what I've seen from where I've been
They don't look like no angels to me

I'm not the world's greatest lover
I don't hang out in barrooms
I'm not a cowboy or a rodeo man
But I love the life I'm livin
And I love what life's been givin
To a plain and simple Ordinary Man
