Ordinary Man — текст песни (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
Try to see my side
It`s not your ordinary pride that keeps drivin` me on
It`s that lonesome, restless feelin` that you feel under the gun
And it leads me to the highways but it keeps my body warm

And as I wander to the cities and the towns
I get so lonesome knowin` you could be around
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
I would pray that I could be
Returning to the shelter of your love
Try to see my side
It`s not your ordinary pride that keeps drivin` me on
It`s that lonesome, restless feelin` that you feel under the gun
And it leads me to the highways but it keeps my body warm

And as I wander to the cities and the towns
I get so lonesome knowin` you could be around
And when the show is over, there`s a holiday motel
Another empty bottle and another tale to tell

Try to understand
I`m not your ordinary man, still I can`t deny
You go with me everywhere
Like a shadow in the gloom
I remember all the good times
There`s a ghost in every room
