Artist picture
Thad Foster grew up in a hot little desert town on an Indian Reservation in Arizona. A line from one of his songs says " Moved to the city in my youth, never looked back, never knew I missed it. But now I'm a man and I long to go back, take me back to those towns with their big Oak Trees, Take me back to the good ole country!" He explains what he misses about a simpler life away from the city. "Many people think that Country Music is all about pick up trucks, and double wide trailers! Not true! Country Music is about real America. The America that the people living in the big cities never see. The people that grow the food and are the back bone of the American Economy. Plain honest folks that look out for each other in time of need and reach out to others when they are hurting, or maybe just need a shoulder to lean on. Hard work, discipline, self discovery, and the same determination that the pioneers of this land had that enabled them to settle and tame it. To me, that's what Country Music is all about." says Thad.

Story behind the song
"Ordinary Joe" is the first single from the forthcoming CD "Big Oak Trees". This song spells it out that no matter how much success Thad Foster has, he is and will always be, just an ordinary joe.
Lyrics
Well I’m no model, and not much to look at Not a leading man, I know I ain’t all that Worked hard all my life, at too many jobs to name But without those days, I’d have no songs to sing I’m just an ordinary Joe, I still rake up my fallen leaves And I cut my ordinary grass, and I still pull my weeds I’m just an ordinary Joe, I’m proud of who I am And it’s great to wake up beside the same woman everyday I’ve made a few dollars, my shows are all sold out I guess I've been lucky, bought a brand new house Been missin’ my wife, in too many towns to name But without those nights, I’d have no songs to sing I’m just an ordinary Joe, I still rake up my fallen leaves And I cut my ordinary grass, and I still pull my weeds I’m just an ordinary Joe, I’m proud of who I am And it’s great to wake up beside the same woman everyday I still wash my Chevy and take out my own trash and roll in the grass with my dog I still clean my Catfish and I break Guitar Strings and I misplaced the TV remote again! I’m just an ordinary Joe, I still rake up my fallen leaves And I cut my ordinary grass, and I still pull my weeds I’m just an ordinary Joe, I’m Red, white, and blue Proud to be the man that does what I do And it’s great to wake up and know I’m just an ordinary Joe
