D                       A      D
Was the captain of the team his senior year
       D                     A      G
In his eyes on his helmet he had no fear
G                 C      G
Down by six, ball on the ten
        D                             A       D
Said, " Huddle up, boys, we?fve got a game to win"

   D                           A        D
He snapped the ball, he looked left and right
    D                   A         G
No- body was open so he tucked in tight
         G                         C     G
And with four of them boys hanging on to him
    D                   A      D
The clock ran out as he ran it in

[Chorus]
        D     C    G                     D
And the whole town cheered, and his mama cried
         D      C    G                          A
And they rushed down field, and they raised him high
        D                            A        G
Got his picture in the paper and the headline read
  Bm           A        D
" All-American Comeback Kid"

           D                           A      D
He was re- created by the best schools in the land
       D                            A     G
He de- cided he would sign with his Uncle Sam
           G                     C      G
Kissed his mama goodbye in their living room
        D                       A       D
Said, " Dad, don?ft worry, I'll be home soon"

[Chorus]
        D     C    G                     D
And the whole town cheered, and his mama cried
         D     C   G                        A
And they lined the street just to say good- bye
        D                            C        G
Got his picture in the paper and the headline read
  Bm               A       D
" Come Back All-A- merican Kid"

D                         A      D
Three tours of duty and a silver star
D                              A      G
Brought him back home with his battle scars
           G                    C      G
He stepped off the plane in his combat boots
       D                  A         D
He sa- luted the red, the white and blue

[Chorus]
        D     C    G                     D
And the whole town cheered, and his mama cried
        D     C    G                   A
Another home- town boy made it home a- live
        D                            C        G
Got his picture in the paper and the headline read
  Bm                  A       D
