Boys – Closer | |
To Home (Written By John Tirro & Tony Wood) | |
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 flew back in 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 | |
Benson, then | |
George Jones | |
But lately | |
I’ve been findin’ | |
All my heroes closer to home. | |
Every time | |
I see a squad car | |
A-passin’ by our house | |
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. | |
CHORUS Got a life, found the lovin’ | |
Got some children of my own | |
And some nights | |
I stand there by their bedside | |
In the dark alone. | |
And I think back on my childhood | |
And the sweet times that | |
I had Now | |
I see the sacrifice it took | |
From my mum and dad. | |
CHORUS But lately | |
I’ve been findin’ | |
All my heroes closer to home. |
