Gordon Lightfoot - Ordinary Man

Ordinary Man
Gordon Lightfoot

Try to understand
I'm not your ordinary man, still I can't deny
You go with me everywhere
When I'm dreamin' you still share my lonely nights
It's that lonesome, restless feelin' that you feel under the gun
Try to see my side
It's not your ordinary pride that keeps drivin' me on

And it leads me to the highways but it keeps my body warm
I get so lonesome knowin' you could be around
And as I wander to the cities and the towns
And when the show is over, there's a holiday motel

Another empty bottle and another tale to tell
Try to comprehend
I'm not your ordinary friend at the end of my life
Try to see my side
I would pray that I could be
Returning to the shelter of your love
It's not your ordinary pride that keeps drivin' me on
It's that lonesome, restless feelin' that you feel under the gun

And as I wander to the cities and the towns
And it leads me to the highways but it keeps my body warm
And when the show is over, there's a holiday motel

I get so lonesome knowin' you could be around
Another empty bottle and another tale to tell
Try to understand
You go with me everywhere
I'm not your ordinary man, still I can't deny
I remember all the good times
Like a shadow in the gloom
