Sawyer Brown - Small Town Hero lyrics
I just turned twenty-nine three years in a row Too young to be the president Too old to turn pro But when the seventies came and elvis died I could not fill his shoes But oh how I tried It was the life and time of a small town hero But it's another day I've got my wife, my kids, a job and it's ok This letter of intent now, is just for show They say it's lonely at the top So I did not go Andy went to Vietnam back in sixty-five While some folks kept from going He kept some folks alive A purple heart is on his shelf That he never wears A broken one sit in his chest For what he lost there It was the life and times of a small town hero But it's another day He's got his wife, his kids, a job and it's ok The letter from the president now, is just for show He could have hid out way up north But he did not go John got his notice, gonna take the farm away He worked it half his life He worked Ii every day He burned his fields his crops And the barn before they came The neighbors cheered and watched as john walked away It was the life and times of a small town hero But it's another day He's got his wife, his kids, a job and it's ok The letter from the bank went up in smoke Just when they thought he was down He did not go It was the life and times of a small town hero |
