Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Long story short, I met a hero yesterday
Yeah, he was cuttin' grass over someone else's grave
Newport in his left hand, firm shake on his right
Just takes a lifetime to get here, but it can happen overnight
He was lookin' over someone who was lookin' over him
There was thunder in the distance, a storm came rollin' in, he said
Friend, I'm not above you, sure as hell, I'm not below
I'm somewhere in the middle, with all the common folk
I got friends in both places, some I love the most
I'm somewhere in the middle, with all the common folk
Common folk
Common folk
Long story short, underneath cheap halogen lights
Night shift nurses drinkin' coffee after savin' someone's life
He was screamin' down the hallway, she was leanin' on the wall
Heard her singin' out a prayer, "Lord, I surrender all"
She was lookin' up for someone who was lookin' down on her
There was thunder in the distance and she sang to him these words
Friend, I'm not above you, sure as hell, I'm not below
I'm somewhere in the middle, with all the common folk
I got friends in both places, some I miss the most
I'm somewhere in the middle, with all the common folk
Common folk
Common folk
Common folk
Common folk
Long story short, dad had nothin' left to hide
Spent his whole life servin' somethin' that kept him all locked up inside
They thanked him for his service when the army sent him back
He was fightin' for his country, they were usin' him for scraps
I asked them for the reasons why they sent him off at all
Said, "Go be with your family, good to see you standin' tall"
Friend, I'm not above you, and I'm not below
I'm somewhere in the middle, with all the common folk
I got friends in both places, some I miss the most
I'll be here in the middle, with all the common folk
Friend, I'm not above you, sure as hell, I'm not below
I'm somewhere in the middle, with all the common folk
I got friends in both places, some I love the most
I'll be here in the middle, with all the common folk
Common folk
Common folk
Common folk
