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
