All American Comeback Kid

[Verse 1]
He was captain of the team his senior year
Had that look in his eye that said "no fear"
Down by six, ball on the ten
He said, "Huddle up, boys, we got a game to win"

[Verse 2]
They snapped the ball, he looked left then right
Nobody was open so he tucked it tight
With a champion's heart inside of him
The clock ran out as he ran it in

[Chorus]
And the whole town cheered and his mama cried
They rushed that field and raised him high
And with his picture in the paper, the headline read
"All-American Comeback Kid"

[Verse 3]
He was recruited by the best schools across the land
But he decided to sign with Uncle Sam
Kissed his mama goodbye in the livin' room
Said, "Dad, don't worry, I'll be back soon"

[Verse 4]
Three tours of duty and a silver star
He flew back home with his battle scars
He stepped off the plane in his combat boots
And saluted the red, white, and blue

[Chorus]
And the whole town cheered and his mama cried
Another hometown boy made it home alive
With his picture in the paper, the headline read
"All-American Comeback Kid"
Yeah, he's the all-American comeback kid
