As long as she went just to school
the world still seemed to be alright
now she's feeling like a fool

as a working girl night by night
in a restaurant at the gas station
from eleven 'til five a.m.

her boy-friend Steven a mechanic
is the only, the only ray of hope


Feelin' high and feelin' down
should I smile or wear a frown
feelin' high and feelin' down

in this ordinary, ordinary town

As long as Steven's unemployed

she has to do that stupid job
and while she works to fill the void


he has got another girl
well she feels betrayed at that gas station
oh, she doesn't want to work anymore

feeling lonely and disappointed well
in this old, in this old boring town


Feelin' high and feelin' down
should I smile or wear a frown
feelin' high and feelin' down

in this ordinary, ordinary town

Feelin' high and feelin' down

should I smile or wear a frown
feelin' high and feelin' down
in this ordinary, ordinary town
