Just an average coming home
Not the ticker tape you'd hoped
Not like generations past,
Not the glory not a chance
When you stepped right off that motorcar,
Thought you were the nation's star
really just an average coming home
See the crowds roll through the streets
All so into their own needs
Seems so strange to be at home
Modern hero quite alone
When you stepped right off that motorcar
Thought you were some superstar
Really just an average coming home
When you stepped right off that motor car
Seeing where you really are
REALLY JUST AN AVERAGE COMING HOME
An average coming home
Was a day a man had means
clear and sparkling beliefs
Now the air is kind of thick
So does a purple heart still tick
When you stepped right off that motorcar
Thought you were the nation's star
Really just an average coming home
When you stepped right off that motor car
Seeing where you really are
REALLY JUST AN AVERAGE COMING HOME
An average coming home
Repeat chorus
