ฟังเพลงCloser To Home

He's sixty-eight and brings my morning paper

Each day while it's dark

Then hustles off to greet folks

At the highway nine 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

It used to be superman

Johnny Benson and George Jones

But lately I've been finding

All my heroes closer to home

Every time I see a squad car

A passing by our house

I think our brave hearts behind badges

Ready when a call goes out

Seems since nine eleven

It's been on my mind

How they wake up every moming

And put their lives on the line

It used to be superman

Johnny Benson and George Jones

But lately I've been finding

All my heroes closer to home

Hey daring

Got a life found the 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 all my childhood

And the sweet times that I had

Now I see the sacrifice it took

From my Mom and Dad

It used to be superman

Johnny Benson and 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 oh yeah
