Lyrics

Plain Jane and Average Joe © 2003
VERSE 1
Its Friday night at the local bowling lane
That?s where you?ll find Joe, and his wife Jane
After nine to five, the kids and PTA
It?s the only time they can get away

VERSE 2
Joe works a shift at the factory
He?s got lots of worries, like you and me
With mouths to feed, and bills to pay
What he earns in a week is gone in a day

PRE CHORUS
It ain?t much, but it?s all they know
Cause she?s just a plain Jane, and he?s an average Joe

CHORUS
So raise a glass, and let?s all toast,
And give it up, to those who deserve it most
They don?t have money, don?t want fame
But everybody knows their name
Hard workin? folks that make this country go
So here?s to plain Jane, and average Joe

VERSE 3
He?s a baseball dad, she?s a girl scout mom
And more than once a chaperone at the high school prom
Still drivin? that beat up mini van
That somehow got them there and back on that trip to Disneyland

PRE CHORUS
They don?t have a lot, but that ain?t that bad
Cause you see it?s hard to miss, what you?re never had

CHORUS

[BRIDGE]
Every night they climb the stairs
And puts their kids to bed with prayers
Deep inside they know
The Lord is watchin? all us Janes? and Joes?

CHORUS OUT
