The Oak Ridge Boys - Closer to Home lyrics
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. CHORUS 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. CHORUS But lately I’ve been finding All my heroes closer to home. |
