Terry McBride - All American Kid lyrics

Was the captain of the team his senior year In his eyes on his helmet he had no fear Down by a six ball on the ten Said huddle up boys we've got a game to win Snapped the ball He looked left and right Nobody 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 And the whole town cheers 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 Hometown Kid He was recruited by the best schools in the land He decided he'd sign with his Uncle Sam He kissed mama goodbye in their living room Said dad don't worry I'll be home soon And the whole town cheers And his mama cried And they lined the street Just to say goodbye Got his picture in the paper and the headline read Come Back All American Hometown Kid (Instrumental) 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 saluted the red white and blue And the whole town cheered And his mama cried Another hometown boy made it home alive Got his picture in the paper and the headline read Welcome Back Home All American Kid Yeah, this song is for those who never did come back all American kids
