Everyday Heroes

                                  Jamie's a high school 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



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



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



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



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
