She baked a cake today from a box of Betty Crocker
Then she hung the clothes out on the line
Her mama called from Manitoba, talked about nothin' for an hour
Brought in the clothes when they were dry
Yellow school bus three o'clock dropped off her little girl
A smiling' face, a piece of cake, ain't gonna change the world
Just another song you won't hear on the radio
An ordinary story everybody already knows
But it won't make the front page headlines, top ten drive time
It's all there but you won't hear it on the radio
He drives a delivery van full of potato chips and
Stocks all the shelves in all the store
Leaves for work when it's still dark out, gets lunch from a drive-thru window
And as always he'll be home by four
It's not the kind of life you'll hear 'bout on the news
Him and his hand cart whistlin' out of tune
Just another song you won't hear on the radio
An ordinary story everybody already knows
But it won't make the front page headlines, top ten drive time
It's all there but you won't hear it on the radio
It isn't always heartache, tough breaks, lost love, mistakes
It's plain old everyday and that's okay
Just another song you won't hear on the radio
An ordinary story everybody already knows
But it won't make the front page headlines, top ten drive time
It's all there but you won't hear it on the radio
