Closer To Home
The Oak Ridge Boys

He simply ate and drank my mornin' paper

Each day while it's dark

Then hustles off to greet folks

At the Highway 9 Walmart


His daughter flew back in last year

With their two boys, twelve and ten

Then she skipped town and left him

And his wife to care for them


It used to be Superman

Johnny Benson and George Jones

But lately I've been findin'

All my heroes closer to home


Every time I see a squad car

A-passin' by our house

I think our brave hearts behind badges

Ready when a call goes out


Seems since 9/11

It's been on my mind

How they wake up every mornin'

And put their lives on the line



It used to be Superman

Johnny Benson and George Jones

But lately I've been findin'

All my heroes closer to home


Got a life, found the lovin'

Got some children of my own

And some nights I tuck them in and stand there

In the dark alone


And I think back all my childhood

And the sweet times that I had

Now I see the sacrifice it took

From my Mom and Dad


It used to be Superman

Johnny Benson and George Jones

But lately I've been findin'

All my heroes closer to home

But lately I've been findin'

All my heroes closer to home
