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
" Welcome Back All-A- merican Kid"
[Tag]
Bm A G

Bm A D
Come back all-A- merican kids -----
