Unglamorous - Lori McKenna

Understated Overrated inside a Carnival ride
Curtains fading' Threadbare Rugs real nice
The baby stayed up all night

How wonderful the rhinestones on black satin shoes
How beautiful the ones I never get to use
No thrills no fuss perfectly us, unglamorous

Frozen dinner, jelly glass of wine
Tastes just fine
Two bread winners five kids in short time, with eyes just like mine

How wonderful crowded dinners at the kitchen table
How beautiful one T.V. set, no cable
No thrills no fuss, perfectly us unglamorous

No diamonds in our bathtub reams
Peanut Butter on everything
No thrills, No fuss, unglamorous
Unglamorous

How wonderful the gravel road leading to a front door
How beautiful old wool socks on a bedroom floor
No thrills no fuss perfectly us unglamorous
Unglamorous
Unglamorous
