You've heard songs about the bright lights of the city
And songs about the heroes of our land
But there's one guy around who never lets us down the every day family man
He works hard to pay the mortgage and the taxes
And there's lots of things that he don't understands
While we spend millions on the moon when the world may bowl out soon
The every day family man
You won't read it in the headlines of the papers
The things he does with his two calloused hands
But every night when he comes home he's a king of his own the every day family man
[ piano ]
He won't be there when awards and all are given
But he's close by when his neighbor needs a hand
When he tells his kids goodnight the whole world for him is right
The every day family man
Yeah you won't read it in the headlines
The every day family man
