Joe Walsh - Ordinary Average Guy Lyrics






I'm just an ordinary average guy
My friends all are boring
And so am I
We're just ordinary average guys

We all lead ordinary average lives
With average kids
And average wives
We all go bowling at the bowling lanes
Drink a few beers
Bowl a few frames
We're just ordinary average guys
Ordinary average guys

And every Saturday we work in the yard
Pick up the dog doo
Hope that it's hard (woof woof)
Take out the garbage and clean out the garage
My friend's got a Chrysler
I've got a Dodge
We're just ordinary average guys
Ordinary average guys

Ordinary average guy(3x)
Ordinary average average guys

Ordinary average guy(3x)
Ordinary average average average guys

Ordinary average guy(3x)
Ordinary average....

    “Nothing special ‘bout me motherfu*kers!”

  28. P.... C....

    Funny thing, the music biz.......Walsh wrote this AFTER he did the rhythm and lead guitar work for Richard Marx (Don't Mean Nothing).


    Same lick, same time signature- even the same key!!


    But, this is Jokin' Joe we're talking about- he can do anything he damned well pleases!! Good on ya, Joe!

  37. J.... S....

    joe walsh was always kind of a joke but he really took it to the next level of douchery between this and some of his live stuff

    30 Years Later:
    Now they have a
    Nonbinary Feminist Child

    B.... ....

    Not in my house, Jack.....either a boy or a girl- fuck that politically correct bullshit...

  53. R.... S....

    Curto Joe Walsh desde 1988, e não consigo mais deixar de ouvir, tenho 58 anos👴💀👍🌐🛀

  54. A.... B....

    whoooaa thats not an average wife

  55. D.... ....

    I just want an ordinary average guy

  56. w.... ....

    I like the bowling alley sound effects. And I have a Dodge.

  57. K.... P....

    Saw the Eagles on the Hell Freezes over tour. Joe stole the show. As Don Henley once said, the Eagles had been accused of loitering on stage before Joe joined. The video playing during this song was hilarious! The highlight was the bowling part. It showed Joe in his follow through with more than half of his butt crack showing. Then it showed him making a hilarious face while scrapping up the dog shit! Just an incredible four hours yet there was still so many of my favorites they didn't get to.

  58. J.... S....

    Me thinks Joe is just a regular ordinary average rock star dude , you know , those ones we meet all the time.

  59. R.... B....

    Everytime I pick up the dog doo, I hope that it's hard
    *arf arf*

  60. P.... N....

    Never knew there was a video for this song. Love the disparate but meticulously arranged visuals. Love Joe's sense of humor too!

  61. M.... C....

    lol this song is my dad xD word for word "my friend has a Chrysler I got a dodge" xD my dad's got white dodge grand caravan my dad also loves to work even without pay enjoys yard work and always hopes the dog due is hard nothing worst then hot slimming dog due xD

  62. T.... B....

    I snort some cocaine and clean up the garage!!!

  63. w.... ....

    Another timeless classic you would never dare hear in today's music. Not just the incredible lyrics funny video and flawless sound, but the fact that most people would gripe abouy the title and chorus, saying "Why is this referencing only a man and not a woman..."

  64. D.... H....

    Take out the garbage and clean out the garage. My friend's gotta Chrysler, I've gotta Dodge. We're just ordinary average guys!

  65. E.... P....

    i just remembered this song after 30 years, just had to hear it even tho i didn't think much of it back then. funny how we all eventually settled down, even my meth dealin freinds

  66. R.... G....

    I guarantee you JW does not pick up his dogs' feces..........not with the $ he makes .

  67. A.... Z....

    just another example of how the 80's made great songwriters look bad. lol

  68. D.... L....

    I just realized the louder it is the more attention you pay to the music video

  69. d.... g....

  86. l.... ....

    Critics and the cognizente always gush at the "brutal, in your face honesty", of punk and rap, while historically giving only sly nods or panning Joe Walsh's work as uncouth, artless, "construction worker"-anthems. But, there's a more nuanced, hiding in plain sight honesty, self-deprecation and existentialist quality in Walsh's work(even later material where creativity was irretrievably waning). No pretension or magazine clothes. Real life, adeptly relayed by a happily-scarred veteran of real life.
