Everyday American Hero
Appeared on Code Name: Jumper
There's this guy surf fishing, not so very tall
In fact from a distance he looks kinda small
Everything's calm, the only thing getting caught is
His brand new Reeboks in the sand
And there's this girl with a surfboard from Dearborn, Michigan
Riding the waves of the summer morning
What do you know she gets a hook in her suit
And the short guy does what he can
He's just an everyday American Hero
Just like Uncle Harry and your Uncle Joe
He don't have all the answers and some he don't know
But he does the best he can
An everyday American Hero
Now there's this Hebrew teenager from your favorite town
He likes to study the Torah and kinda hang out
With all of his friends they like to dress all the same
Acting kinda natural in a natural way
He's a real big fan of old Abraham
He says if Abraham can I know I can
He meets up with a Baptist, a Catholic, and a Prince
And together through the years they continue to convince
- Chorus -
And there's this old italian sailor who sailed the Seven Seas
Retires from the Navy and takes out a lease
On a diner in the city, he's open seven nights
The business is good and everything is alright
He noticed in the news about some senior citizens
Can't hardly come up with enough to pay the rent
So once or twice a week he lends a helping hand
Eat all wou want
Pay what you can
- Chorus -
