"Dog Tags" lyrics - AARON WATSON

Growing up I never cared too much for Superman
I guess he never could measure up next to my old man
There's no S on his chest, it's just an old weathered flag
God knows my heroes don't wear capes

[Chorus:]
They wear dog tags and they stand tall
Lined up on the wall of freedom
Yeah, those dog tags in the crosshairs
They're always right there when you need them
You can bet their boots will hit the ground running
Every time it hits the fan
God knows my heroes don't wear capes

For me, it's not some country boy banging on a guitar
It's not a politician preaching, or a movie star
And I'll tell ya one thing that's a fact
It sure ain't that quarterback
God knows my heroes don't wear capes

[Chorus:]
My heroes wear dog tags and they stand tall
Lined up on the wall of freedom
Yeah, those dog tags in the crosshairs
They're always right there when you need them
You can bet their boots will hit the ground running
Every time it hits the fan
God knows my heroes don't wear capes

[Bridge:]
There's a star-spangled covered coffin
A little boy watching his momma cry
Remember, it's more than just beer
And barbecue when those fireworks fly
My heroes wear dog tags

[Chorus:]
My heroes wear dog tags and they stand tall
Lined up on the wall of freedom
Yeah, those dog tags in the crosshairs
They're always right there when you need them
You can bet their boots will hit the ground running
Every time it hits the fan
God knows my heroes don't wear capes
God knows my heroes don't wear capes
God knows my heroes don't wear capes

[Outro:]
Growing up I never cared too much for Superman
I guess he never could measure up next to my old man
