All American Kid Lyrics - Garth Brooks

Was the captain of the team his senior year 

In his eyes on his helmet he had no fear 

Down by a six ball on the ten 

Said huddle up boys we've got a game to win 

Snapped the ball 

He looked left and right 

Nobody was open so he tucked in tight 

And before them boys hanging on to him 

The clock ran out as he ran it in 

And the whole town cheered 

And his mama cried 

And they rushed down field 

And they raised him high 

Got his picture in the paper and the headline read All American Comeback Kid

He was recruited by the best schools in the land 

He decided he'd sign with his Uncle Sam 

He kissed mama goodbye in their living room 

Said dad don't worry I'll be home soon 

And the whole town cheered 

And his mama cried 

And they lined the street 

Just to say goodbye 

Got his picture in the paper 

and the headline read 

Come Back All American Kid 

Three tours of duty 

And a silver star 

Brought him back home with his battle scars 

He stopped off the plane 

In his combat boots 

He saluted the red white and blue 

Photos 

And the whole town cheered 

And his mama cried 

Another hometown boy made it home alive 

Got his picture in the paper and the headline read 

Welcome Back Home All American Kid 

Yeah, this song is for those who never did come back all American kids
