Closer To Home |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| It used to be Superman |
| Johnny Bench and then George Jones |
| But lately I’ve been finding |
| All my heroes closer to home |
| I’ve got a life I’m loving |
| Got some children of my own |
| And some nights I tuck them in and stand there |
| In the dark alone |
| And I think back on my childhood |
| And the sweet days that I had |
| Now I see the sacrifice it took |
| From my mum and dad |
| It used to be Superman |
| Johnny Bench and then George Jones |
| But lately I’ve been finding |
| All my heroes closer to home |
| But lately I’ve been finding |
| All my heroes closer to home |
