Verse:
It's a cold November Friday night, football's in the air
It's the big game that decides braggin' rights all year
Fourth and nine in overtime, listen to the crowd
Jones drops back, there's the pa**, Smith pulls it in, touchdown
Chorus:
Hometown heroes, you know who they are
Small town dreamers born with big time hearts
Ready for the moment, always there to save the day
Hometown heroes all across the USA
Verse:
Just as quick as lightning strikes, the funnel cloud touched down
Its path of devastation ran right through that country town
And in the rain the people came to lend a helping hand
As flood lights shined through the night, miracles began
Repeat chorus:
Bridge:
Through the course of two World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam
From the deserts in Irag to the mountains of Afghanistan
They're watchin' over this great land
Repeat chorus:

Hometown heroes all across the USA
