Jamie's a highschool teacher
|
She wakes up every morning at the crack of dawn
|
And puts the coffee on
|
Gives her lectures, grades those papers
|
The Work ain't done when the last one's gone
|
She don't do it for the paycheck
|
Anything at all would pay the bills
|
Even on days her life's a train wreck
|
But she still loves those kids
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Thank God for the everyday heroes
|
For all you've done and for all you do
|
Thank God for the everyday heroes
|
It's a better world because of you
|
|
Joe's a highway worker
|
I saw him today when I drove by and the sun was hot
|
100 degrees on that blacktop sweatin'
|
He's out there working just getting by
|
He breaks his back to keep his family fed
|
It's all that matters much to him
|
Tomorrow morning he'll roll out of bed
|
Do it all again
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Thank God for the everyday heroes
|
For all you've done and for all you do
|
Thank God for the everyday heroes
|
It's a better world because of you
|
|
There ain't no hall of fame
|
Probably never know your name
|
They're everywhere around us
|
They're stories all the same
|
|
So here's to the cop that works the midnight beat
|
Here's to the maid who cleans the hotel sheets
|
Here's to the farmer harvestin' the fields
|
Here's to the trucking haulin' 18 wheels
|
Here's to the workers on the assembly line
|
The secretary, the firemen, and the men down in the mines
|
Here's to everyone who does their part
|
I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Thank God for the everyday heroes
|
For all you've done and for all you do
|
Thank God for the everyday heroes
|
It's a better world because of you
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Thank God for the everyday heroes
|
For all you've done and for all you do
|
Thank God for the everyday heroes
|
It's a better world because of you
|
