We longed for something   Wasn’t quite sure what   But we thought he might find it   If he could reach the top   On the way he gathered   Towards a working place   Pitched his Farari on his resume      On the everyday journey of an ordinary man   Taking absolutely nowhere   But he’s doing the best he can   All the work and worries of a traveling man   Only take him to a place where he first began   Oh the everyday journey of an ordinary man      Listen fifty years where we reach his journey end   No one asked how high he climbed    Or what his name had been   They just wield him to the sunroom   To do puzzles all alone   Another grumpy man in a nurse home       On the everyday journey of an ordinary man   Taking absolutely nowhere   But he’s doing the best he can   All the work and worries of a traveling man   Only take him to a place where he first began   Oh the everyday journey of an ordinary man      But the one they found Jesus   On the bible on the shelf   Put his mind on others   And turned on himself   Theirs a smile on his face   As he wipes away the tears   The company the memories   All the places he’s been      On the everyday journey of an ordinary man   Taking absolutely nowhere   But he’s doing the best he can   All the work and worries of a traveling man   Only take him to a place where he first began      On the everyday journey of an ordinary man   Taking absolutely nowhere   But he’s doing the best he can   All the work and worries of a traveling man   Only take him to a place where he first began   Oh the everyday journey    Oh the everyday journey   Oh the everyday journey of an ordinary man
