Everybody does it, that's what everybody says
As they smoke their cigarettes on Friday night
And if you're still a virgin by the time that you're a junior
Then the rumor going 'round is you ain't right
Maybe I'm hard headed or a little bit old fashioned
But I always had a hard time fitting in
So when they rolled their eyes at me and told me I ain't normal
I always took it as a compliment

[Chorus]
Where I'm from normal is high school girls having kids
Marrying the boys that you grew up with
They say girl get your head on straight
You sit around and dream all day
That far away look in your eye ain't normal
Somebody's got to wear the roller skates down at the Sonic
But it never really fit into my plans
So when I up and moved 1000 miles from Oklahoma
Nobody in that town could understand

[Chorus]

Where I'm from normal is doing what your mama did
Marrying the boys that you grew up with
They say girl get your head on straight
You sit around and dream all day
That far away look in your eye ain't normal
(But) I say yeah, what's so great about normal

[Bridge:]

I don't know what happens but that's okay
'Cause I know what wouldn't happened if I stayed
Repeat 2nd [Chorus]
