Everyday Heroes & Heroines
From the heart of the country
To the bright city streets
There's a rhythm to the living
And it always repeats
With a whole lot of soul
And a measure of pride
We are ordinary people
Simply living our lives
(Chorus)
The sun comes up
And you start another morning
When the sun goes down
It's the end of the day
We don't have much
But it doesn't really matter
If you get ahead the government
Just takes it away .
Sometimes you lose
Most times you choose
To laugh a lot and learn to call
Any draw a win.
We are struggling in the backfield
Everyday heroes and heroines.
We'll never be famous
We'll never be rich
We'll never stop hoping
That we hit the pick six
We work in the diners
We work in the mines
We're working at the office
Clocking in right on time . . . (Chorus)
We come in all kinds of colors
And every kind of size
The love in our hearts
Burning deep in our eyes
Mothers and fathers
And families of friends
Workers and lovers
Straight gay lesbian....(Chorus)
