1
Clyde woke up real early while Edna was still asleep
2
Got dressed and had some coffee, then found his set of keys
3
He pulled on his levi jacket, he headed for the door
4
The kitchen smelled like dinner from the night before
5
A rumbling exhaust pipe woke Edna from her sleep
6
She stumbled like a drunkard yelling Clyde you wait for me
7
But Clyde was going nowhere, just sitting in his truck
8
Staring with a poker face, like he'd run out of luck
9
CHORUS:
10
Cause any fool would've turned and run
11
Any fool would've walked away
12
Any fool would've given up
13
But an ordinary man, he chose to stay
14
Now Edna, she couldn't say too much, she'd seen that look before
15
She kept tapping on Clyde's window, till he opened up the door
16
Then she put her arms around him, she never said a word
17
And Clyde turned on the radio and neither of them heard
18
He said Edna why don't you hop in, I think I'll call in sick
19
There's three one ways to a dead end street, now you just take your pick
20
And she pointed to the ballfield and the park where they first kissed
21
And Clyde grinned like he found something that he had almost missed
22
CHORUS
23
They spent that day in freedom, they hung on for many more
24
Raised up quite a family, they found what love was for
25
And the aging never slowed them down, they leaned on faith, not luck
26
Still out taking Sunday drives in Clyde's old beat up truck
27
You know Edna, she ain't no movie star and Clyde's a little slow
28
The shopping mall's replaced the park where they both used to go
29
But that's why they've both got each other, so they can keep their dreams alive
30
The simple dreams, the common man, still stand the test of time
31
CHORUS
