Extraordinary Average Man

[MikeA]

Several years ago, several of the Walsh Fans pooled ideas and came up with a "re-versed" version of "Ordinary Average Guy". I was cleaning out my files and better organizing them and found this. I think we actually printed it up and sent it to Joe for his Birthday or Christmas or something. Can't remember.

I’m just an ordinary, average fan,
Work by the hour,
Work for the Man.
Save all my money
Go see Joe and the Band.
I’m just an ordinary, average, average fan
Just an ordinary, average fan.

We travel widely to cities unknown
Take in the scenery
Leave the kids at home.
When Joe plays Las Vegas
We take out a loan.
We’re just ordinary, average, average fans,
Just ordinary, average fans.

So many concerts, we’ve been to them all
Miles and miles we drove
To St Louis, St Paul
We go in the Summer
Spring, Winter and Fall
We’re just ordinary average, average fans
Just ordinary, average fans.

To hit all those concerts, man what a treat
Music is deafenin’, Crowd stays on their feet
But best of all is when
Joe Meet and Greets
Joe is fantastic, The fans are all sweet
We’re just ordinary average, average fans
Just Ordinary Average Fans.

To the Man who’s helped us
Through all of these years
When we’ve been happy,
Or shedding sad tears
We’ve been so blessed by his music
Caressing our ears.
I guess we’re just ordinary average fans
To know an extraordinarily Average Man!
An Extraordinary Average man!

Awww! That was great, thanks for sharing, Mike. I'm sure Joe would've got a kick out of it!

That is awesome, Mike. I sure hope Joe did get to see that ... I think he would love it!!!
