He's 68 and brings my morning paper
Each day while it's dark
Then hustles off to greet folks
At the Highway 9 Walmart
His daughter moved back home last year
With their two boys, twelve and ten
Then she skipped town and left him
And his wife to care for them
CHORUS:
It used to be Superman
Johnny Bench and then George Jones
But lately I've been finding
All my heroes closer to home
Every time I see a squad car
Or pass a firehouse
I think of brave hearts behind badges
Ready when a call goes out
Seems since 9/11
It's been on my mind
How they wake up every morning
And put their lives on the line
Each day while it's dark
Then hustles off to greet folks
At the Highway 9 Walmart
His daughter moved back home last year
With their two boys, twelve and ten
Then she skipped town and left him
And his wife to care for them
CHORUS:
It used to be Superman
Johnny Bench and then George Jones
But lately I've been finding
All my heroes closer to home
Every time I see a squad car
Or pass a firehouse
I think of brave hearts behind badges
Ready when a call goes out
Seems since 9/11
It's been on my mind
How they wake up every morning
And put their lives on the line
