You've heard songs about the bright lights of the city

And songs about the heroes of our land

But there's one guy around who never lets us down

The every day family man



He works hard to pay the mortgage and the taxes

And there's lots of things that he don't understands

While we spend millions on the moon when the world may blow out soon

The every day family man



You won't read it in the headlines of the papers

The things he does with his two calloused hands

But every night when he comes home he's a king of his Rome

The every day family man

[ piano ]

He won't be there when awards and all are given

But he's close by when his neighbor needs a hand

When he tells his kids goodnight the whole world for him is right

The every day family man

Yeah you won't read it in the headlines...

The every day family man
