Lyrics
FACE IN THE CROWD
HE'S JUST A FACE IN THE CROWD
THERE'S NOTHIN' SPECIAL ABOUT HIM
HE'S JUST AN ORDINARY GUY,
HE GOES TO WORK, HE DOES HIS JOB
HE MAKES SURE THAT HIS FAMILY
IS LOVED AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF
THAT'S WHAT THE MAN'S MADE OF
HE TALKS THE TALK - HE WALKS THE WALK
CHORUS
HE CALLS 'EM JUST HOW HE SEES 'EM
HE DOESN'T PULL PUNCHES, HE DOESN'T PLAY FAVORITES
YOU'RE EITHER RIGHT OR YOU'RE WRONG
THERE'S NO IN BETWEEN, THAT'S JUST HOW HE SEES IT
HE'S JUST A FACE IN THE CROWD
HE'S STRONG AND QUIET, NOT HARSH AND LOUD
HE'S NOTHIN' SPECIAL, BUT HE SURE IS PROUD
OF WHO HE IS, AND WHAT HE'S DONE
HE HAS NO CLAIM TO FAME,
HE'S JUST ONE MAN AMONG MILLIONS
BUT TO THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE HIM
HE'S NUMERO UNO, HE'S NUMBER ONE.
CHORUS
HE'S JUST A FACE IN THE CROWD,
THERE'S NOTHIN' SPECIAL ABOUT HIM
HE'S JUST AN ORDINARY GUY,
HE GOES TO WORK, HE DOES HIS JOB
CHORUS
