Us Heroes

You have heard about the heroes, So great and brave and strong; Whose names are found in history, Whose deeds are sang in song.

But I tell you this, old timer, There are other heroes, too; Who never get no laurels, And one of them is YOU.

Remember how this morning, While snoozin' in the hay; You had to ditch the blankets To start another day?

They sing about the heroes Who lead great armies on; But that there is a pleasure, To gettin' up at dawn.

It takes a lot of courage To sail the stormy deep; But you could sail six oceans If they'd only let you sleep.

So here's to all us heroes, Who never any laurels reap; Who get up in the mornin' When we'd rather lay and sleep.
