Clyde Woke up real early While Edna was still asleep Got dressed and had some coffee Found his set of keys He pulled on his levi jacket, and headed for the door The kitchen smelled like dinner from the night before A rumbling exhaust pipe Woke Edna from her sleep And she stumbled like a drunkard Yelling Clyde, you wait for me But Clyde was going no where, Just sitting in his truck Staring with a pokered face like he'd run out of luck ------------Chorus--------------------------- Cause any fool would have turned and run Any fool would have walked away Any fool would have given up, But an ordinary man, chose to stay ----------------Chorus---------------------- Now Edna, she couldn't say too much Cause she'd seen that look before She kept tapping on Clyde's window Till he opened up the door SongtexteThen she through her arms around him And never said a word Clyde turned on the radio That neither of them heard He said Edna why don't you hop in, I think I'll call in sick Yeah, there's three one-ways and a dead end street Now, you just take your pick And she pointed to the ballfield where they had first kissed Clyde grinned like he found something he had almost missed ----------------Chrous---------------------- Yeah, they spent that day in freedom They hung on through many more Raised up quite a family Found what love was for And the aging never slowed them down They leaned on faith, not luck But still I've taken sunday drives in Clyde's old beat up truck ------------------Chorus---------------- You know Edna, she ain't no movie star and Clyde's a little slow The shopping mall's replaced the park where they both used to go But that's why they've both got each other, so they can keep their dreams alive The simple dreams, the common man, still stand the test of time CHORUS Aus Songtexte Mania
