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
