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
