Mary pours the coffee at the Dixieland Cafe
She believes a stranger is a just friend she hasn´t made
Billy rebuilds engines when he ain´t pumpin´ gasoline
Friday night´s a movie after dinner at the Dairy Queen
Mary´s just a plain Jane
Billy´s just an ordinary Joe
Everybody sees a workin´ girl
Billy sees a Marilyn Monroe
And when he walks in the diner
With a hand full of daisies
He picked by the side of the road
Everybody sees a common man
Mary sees a Romeo
Never left Kentucky but they´re savin´ up to go
Gonna see the Opry and walk the streets of Music Row
Maybe get their picture made with a country music star
And still be proud to go right back to bein´ who they are
Mary´s just a plain Jane
Billy´s just an ordinary Joe
Everybody sees a workin´ girl
Billy sees a Marilyn Monroe
And when he walks in the diner
With a hand full of daisies
He picked by the side of the road
Everybody sees a common man
Mary sees a Romeo
Everybody sees a common man
Mary sees a Romeo
