Lyrics
Chasing down a simple life I was set here in my ways Then along she came and that was all about to change She’ been around the entire world and had an eye for the finest things She could light up a room just by walking in My closest friends said that she scared them half to death She’s out of my league and over my head, I’m over my head I’m not the one who’s gonna ride off into the sunset And I’m not a wealthy businessman But I an the one that’s gonna be here when she needs me If she’ll settle for an ordinary man I like to take a drink or two and more than two on Sunday My clothes are no name brands bought second hand Can I get this girl to love me if I stay the way I am Or am I out of my league and over my head, over my head I’m not the one who’s gonna ride off into the sunset And I’m not a wealthy businessman But I an the one that’s gonna be here when she needs me If she’ll settle for an ordinary man Even though we’re worlds apart we’re close in each others hearts Maybe this was always meant to be Even though we’re worlds apart we’re close in each others hearts Maybe she’ll gamble on me, on me But I’m not the one who’s gonna ride off into the sunset And I’m not a wealthy businessman I’ll be the one that’s gonna be here when she needs me If she’ll settle for an ordinary man
