Matthew grew up farming in moose lake minnesota
He played football and dreamed of college
Having a family when he was older
He had three thousand reasons
For joining up to fight
In the service of our country
He was willing to give his life
Heroes come from small towns
Poor kids and class clowns
Everybody knows when push comes to shove
They're the first one in line for the country they love
The cost of freedom is buried in the ground
Heroes come from small towns
There's many more just like him
From all around this land
Just like their fathers before them
They're not afraid to take a stand
They might not make the papers
Or be on the nightly news
But their in our hearts forever
For what they chose to do
Heroes come from small towns
Poor kids and class clowns
Everybody knows when push comes to shove
They're the first one in line for the country they love
The cost of freedom is buried in the ground
Heroes come from small towns
All across this nation
They answer the call
There'll be an invitation
In heaven for them all
Heroes come from small towns
Poor kids and class clowns
Everybody knows when push comes to shove
They're the first one in line for the country they love
The cost of freedom is buried in the ground
Heroes come from small towns
Heroes come from small towns
Like mooresville north carolina
Heroes come from small towns
Like cedar falls washington
Heroes come from small towns
Like libery missouri
Heroes come from small towns
Cherry hill new jersey to santa maria california
And every town in between
Heroes come from small towns
