Unsung Hero

He joined the Army in '42

Fightin' for his country and me and you

Didn't talk about his medals or what he'd seen

Was a man of few words about everything

He wasn't in the paper or on TV

Hollywood never called

All he did for us we may never know

He's an unsung hero

He's an unsung hero

People like that, you don't know their name

And you probably never will

They didn't do what they did for praise or fame

And he's an unsung hero

He's an unsung hero

He got a letter from the president

Lettin' him know how much it meant

To all the men and women of the USA

For answerin' the call and for the price he paid

He put the letter in a dresser drawer

It never saw the light of day

All he hid from us, we may never know

He's an unsung hero

He's an unsung hero

People like that, you don't know their name

And you probably never will

They didn't do what they did for praise or fame

He's an unsung hero

He's an unsung hero

He was a hard workin' man and he loved his wife

Did everything he could to give her a good life

Active in his church and his garden too

Never had a lot of money but he made it through

I tip my hat to all the men like that

Who've ever fought to keep us free

He was my daddy's Daddy and I want you to know

He's an unsung hero

He's an unsung hero

He's an unsung hero

He's my unsung
