Growing up I never cared too much for Superman I guess he never could measure up next to my old man There’s no S on his chest, it’s just an old weathered flag God knows my heroes don’t wear capes
They wear dog tags and they stand tall, lined up on the wall of freedom Yeah, those dog tags in the cross hairs, they’re always right there when you need them You can bet their boots will hit the ground running, every time it hits the fan God knows my heroes don’t wear capes
For me it’s not some country boy banging on a guitar It’s not a politician preaching, or a movie star And I’ll tell ya one thing that’s a fact, it sure ain’t that quarterback God know my heroes don’t wear capes
My heroes wear dog tags and they stand tall, lined up on the wall of freedom Yeah, those dog tags in the cross hairs, they’re always right there when you need them You can bet their boots will hit the ground running, every time it hits the fan God knows my heroes don’t wear capes
There’s a star spangled covered coffin, a little boy watching his momma cry Remember, it’s more than just beer and barbecue when those fireworks fly
My heroes wear dog tags
My heroes wear dog tags and they stand tall, lined up on the wall of freedom Yeah, those dog tags in the cross hairs, they’re always right there when you need them You can bet their boots will hit the ground running, every time it hits the fan God knows my heroes don’t wear capes God knows my heroes don’t wear capes God knows my heroes don’t wear capes
Growing up I never cared too much for Superman I guess he never could measure up next to my old man
