Hometown Heroes

It's a cold November Friday night
Football's in the air
It's the big game that decides bragging rights all year
Fourth and nine in overtime
Listen to the crowd
Jones drops back, there's the pass
Smith pulls it in, touchdown

Hometown heroes
You know who they are
Small town dreamers born with big time hearts
Ready for the moment
Always there to save the day
Hometown heroes all across the USA

Just as quick as lightning strikes
The funnel cloud touched down
Its path of devastation ran right through that country town
And in the rain
The people came to lend a helping hand
As flood lights shined through the night
Miracles began

Hometown heroes
You know who they are
Small town dreamers born with big time hearts
Ready for the moment
Always there to save the day
Hometown heroes all across the USA

Through the course of two World Wars, Korea and Vietnam
From the deserts in Irag
To the mountains of Afghanistan
They're watching over this great land

Hometown heroes
You know who they are
Small town dreamers born with big time hearts
Ready for the moment
Always there to save the day
Hometown heroes all across the USA
