All-American Kid

Was the captain of the team his senior year In his eyes on his helmet he had no fear Down by six ball on the ten Said " Huddle up boys we?fve got a game to win" He snapped the ball he looked left and right No- body was open so he tucked in tight And with four of them boys hanging on to him The clock ran out as he ran it in [Chorus] And the whole town cheered and his mama cried And they rushed down field and they raised him high Got his picture in the paper and the headline read " All-American Comeback Kid" He was re- created by the best schools in the land He de- cided he would sign with his Uncle Sam Kissed his mama goodbye in their living room Said " Dad don?ft worry I’ll be home soon" [Chorus] And the whole town cheered and his mama cried And they lined the street just to say good- bye Got his picture in the paper and the headline read " Come Back All-A- merican Kid" Three tours of duty and a silver star Brought him back home with his battle scars He stepped off the plane in his combat boots He sa- luted the red the white and blue [Chorus] And the whole town cheered and his mama cried Another home- town boy made it home a- live Got his picture in the paper and the headline read " Welcome Back All-A- merican Kid" [Tag] Yeah this song --- is for those who never did --- Come back all-A- merican kids -----
