Jamie's a highschool teacher She wakes up every morning at the crack of dawn And puts the coffee on Gives her lectures, grades those papers The Work ain't done when the last one's gone She don't do it for the paycheck Anything at all would pay the bills Even on days her life's a train wreck But she still loves those kids
(Chorus) Thank God for the everyday heroes For all you've done and for all you do Thank God for the everyday heroes It's a better world because of you
Joe's a highway worker I saw him today when I drove by and the sun was hot 100 degrees on that blacktop sweatin' He's out there working just getting by He breaks his back to keep his family fed It's all that matters much to him Tomorrow morning he'll roll out of bed Do it all again
(Chorus) Thank God for the everyday heroes For all you've done and for all you do Thank God for the everyday heroes Thank God for the everyday heroes For all you've done and for all you do Thank God for the everyday heroes It's a better world because of you
