Average Joe - David Ryan Harris

I just don’t get it

What does she see in him?

They’re nothing like we were

Damn he’s so small town

She’s such a city girl

I’m absolutely sure he’s not the one for her

But still he gets to kiss the queen

While I’m down here on my own

He sits next to her like her king

While I’m in the shadows

He’s bland, he’s ordinary

He’s such bore but everybody knows

When the curtains close

He’ll be kissing his queen

I’ll just walk home alone

He’s her new everything

So that makes me the Average Joe

I thought we were the real thing

We were just one wedding ring short

Of a once in a life time love

Well, now that it’s over

I just don’t understand

How she thinks they compare to us

He’ll never be good enough

But still he gets to kiss the queen

While I’m down here on my own

He sits next to her like her king

While I’m in the shadows

He’s bland, he’s ordinary

He’s such bore but everybody knows

When the curtains close

He’ll be kissing his queen

I’ll just walk home alone

He’s her new everything

That makes me the Average Joe

Now I’m a punch line

I’m the story that everyone knows

Of how even the invisible

Can become an Average Joe

Bridge

No more kissing the queen

I’ll never sit on the throne

Right next to her like her king

I’m in the shadows

He’s bland, he’s ordinary

He’s such bore but everybody knows

When the curtains close

He’ll be kissing his queen

I’ll just walk home alone

He’s her new everything

That makes me the Average Joe
