Courage Song (Flatfoot 56)

Born to a fighter on the deep South side. A sweaty blue collar, but you didn’t mind.
The cost of a family meant your blood and tears. Fourteen hours in a world of gears.

Courage, your name means something to me. These heroes, they last through time.
Courage, your name means something to me. A champion of the daily grind.
Not because of a movie or a magazine, but because of your example you inspired me.
Sacrifice in the midst of pain. You bring a tear to my eye when I hear your name… Go…

Courage, it means something to me. These heroes, they last through time.
Courage, your name means something to me. A champion of the daily grind.

Courage, your name means something to me. These heroes, they last through time.
Courage, your name means something to me. A champion of the daily grind.
Not because of a movie or a magazine, but because of your example you inspired me.
Sacrifice in the midst of pain. You bring a tear to my eye when I hear your name…
