He drives in to the city works extra hard all day
He finishes up early so he can get away
Cause there’s a blue eyed kid on second base
Wants dad to watch him play
Daddy knows he’s waiting so he hurries on his way
Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Making special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives a medal the world don’t know their name
But in some ones eye their heroes just the some
She rocks her crying baby in the hours before dawn
She whispers words of hope to help her husband to hold on
She takes time with the children making sure they know she cares
She’s more than just mamma she’s the answer to their prayers
Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Making special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives a medal the world don’t know their name
But in some ones eye their heroes just the some
Now I don’t pretend to know you but I bet it’s safe to say
Someone out there somewhere looking up to you today
They see every thing you do except for your mistakes
You may not think you measure up but you’ve got all it takes
Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Making special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives a medal the world don’t know their name
But in some ones eye their heroes just the some
No one gives a medal the world don’t know their name
But in someone’s eye their heroes just the same
Yeah in some one eyes their heroes just the same
Back where we made our plans to tie the knot
My friends they all laughed at me a lot
They slapped my back and told me how they thought I was insane
They said son your too young to wear that ball and chain
Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Making special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives a medal the world don’t know their name
But in some ones eye their heroes just the some
But love don’t feel like a ball and chain to me
When I’m close to you my heart feels wild and free
If you are my jailer darling throw away the key
Love don’t feel like a ball and chain to me
Love don’t free like a ball and chain
It don’t feel like a ball and chain
Love don’t feel like a ball and chain to me
Well I still see my single friends from time to time
And they ask me how it feels to walk the line
Well I tell ’em it feels better than I ever dreamed it would
And I would not trade places with era even if I could
Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Making special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives a medal the world don’t know their name
But in some ones eye their heroes just the some
Well if it is a crime for a man to love his wife
Throw that old book at me give me 99 to life
I’ll spend every minute every hour every day
Holding you close I don’t wanta get away
Cause you know heroes come in every shape and size
Making special sacrifices for others in their lives
No one gives a medal the world don’t know their name
But in some ones eye their heroes just the some
