Lyrics
It started back in 88
Work and school yet we lived to stay out late
Cheap guitars and a rusted beat up ride
Dreams so big we couldnt hide
Time goes forever and theres never enough
It flies and it steals
Yet nothing could change
The way this heart feels
She was just my ordinary girl
In a crazy reckless world
No spotlight no diamonds no pearls
Just my one and only ordinary girl
We burned the nights and chased the day
Dreams on fire never fade away
Your laughter cut through the noise
The ordinary with just the right power and poise
Lifes clock kept on running it never slowed down
We fought for our dreams in this nowhere town
The years tried to break us
Our love never let us drown
She was just my ordinary girl
In a crazy reckless world
No spotlight no diamonds no pearls
Just my one and only ordinary girl
And all these years later I finally see
Youve always been extraordinary to me
The world may change but the truth wont fade
Youre still the reason this song gets played
Youre extraordinary and so much more
But forever my ordinary girl
Through the years youre my whole wide world
Extraordinary indeed youre just my ordinary girl
Extraordinary still my ordinary girl
You're extraordinary and so much more
No spotlight no diamonds no pearls
Just my one and only extraordinary girl
