From the recording The End Of It All

Lyrics
The sun was rising as I took the kids to school
I dropped them off and absentmindedly said Hey, love you both
I bought some groceries, paid some bills and never looked up from my work
until the sun had set later that day
It was an ordinary day
I did some welding and I fixed that broken gate
Wrestled with that engine and I cursed it up and down
I met the fellows after work for happy hour and shot some pool
We talked for hours about the game that week
It was an ordinary day
We will never know that day
Never see such a day again
We will never have an ordinary day
Never live that ordinary day again
I went for a ride before the sun came up
Then I was stuck in meetings running all day long
I found some time to pick tomatoes, okra and some herbs
I ate my dinner sitting on the porch
It was an ordinary day
We will never know that day
Never see such a day again
We will never have an ordinary day
Never live that ordinary day again
I remember the last ordinary day
The last of a long series of such ordinary days
It was an ordinary day
The last ordinary day
