Lyrics
When I was young I saw my Momma cryin? at the door
There was a man over there with a note in his hand she cried some more
She walked on over to me her eyes tearin? like the sea
She said your Daddy was a hero for the U.S. of A
Many nights went by and she laid on her bed and she cried
Looking at pictures reading his letters wondering why
She held me ever so tightly and she whispered ever so lightly
She said your Daddy was a hero for the U.S. of A.
I never knew my Dad but through my Mom I can see
He was a hell of a man who died for liberty
So now the torch is passed passed from him to me
Maybe I?ll be a hero for the U.S. of A.
Maybe I?ll be a hero
Cause my Daddy he was a hero
For the U. S. of A.
For the U. S. of A.
