Just Another American Hero
(c) 2004 R. Dwight Duncan
Verse 1
She looks out the kitchen window
To the backyard where they play
But her thoughts drift back to Texas
And the home where she was raised
Verse 2
She sees her Momma standing there
Hanging clothes out on the line
And like the day she said goodbye
There were tears in Momma's eyes
Chorus 1
She left home to follow her dreams
Take a rocket to the moon or fill the Silver Screen
Sail solo across the ocean, conquer the world at 17
She never made the ten o'clock news
Stepped on a stage or wore an astronaut suit
She's just another American Hero.....
A mother and a wife
Instrumental
Bridge
Now she's watching her little girl fly
In her Daddy's arms she can touch the sky
She hopes she'll live out all her dreams
But she wouldn't change her life for anything
Chorus 1
She left home to follow her dreams
Take a rocket to the moon or fill the Silver Screen
Sail solo across the ocean, conquer the world at 17
She never made the ten o'clock news
Stepped on a stage or wore an astronaut suit
she's just another American Hero.....
A mother and a wife
Chorus 2
She left home to follow her dreams
Take a rocket to the moon or fill the Silver Screen
Sail solo across the ocean, conquer the world at 17
She never made the ten o'clock news
But she sailed the ocean on her honeymoon cruise
she's just another American Hero.....
A mother and a wife
