Ordinary Joe
verse
I don’t stand out in a crowd.
I’m an average Joe.
I’m not rich and I’m not poor.
I’m like most folks you know.
pre chorus
I’m never first, never last.
I’m not too high, not too low.
I’m a run of the mill Bill.
I’m an ordinary Joe.
chorus
Ordinary, Ordinary
Ordinary Joe.
Ordinary, Ordinary
Ordinary Joe.
verse
I punch in and I punch out.
Do as I’m told to do.
I color inside the lines.
I am red, white and blue.
pre chorus
I’m never first, never last.
I’m not too high, not too low.
I’m a run of the mill Bill.
I’m an ordinary Joe.
chorus
Ordinary, Ordinary
Ordinary Joe.
Ordinary, Ordinary
Ordinary Joe.
bridge
I like backyard barbecues.
I like drinking beer.
I like classic rock music.
I drive an old pickup truck.
I think rap is weird.

Hello Ckiphen,
I like the plain language in this...fits the main character too. Gotta be country genre. cowboy chords would fit its simplisity.
And I also like the potential of the bridge to more clearly draw into focus this particular individual....you have drawn him in a particular way here....but it could be drawn other ways.
I mean, for example, he could be an under cover cop, or some superstar that keeps a low profile, or maybe something in the opposite direction, like a russian spy etc.

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
