Lyrics | There’s a Million Heroes in Each Corner of the USA Verse: Virginia gave us Washington way back in Sev’nty Six. Kentucky gave us Lincoln when our boys were in a fix. Ohio gave us Grant and Dixie gave us Lee, They fought it out and patched it up and made our history. If you asked Uncle Sammy who should take their place today, He’d rub his chin and with a grin he’d answer in this way: Refrain: There’s a million heroes in each corner of the USA. In cities and farms they’ve taken up arms The East and the West have sent us their best The rest are coming from the land of cotton. You can bank ev’ry loyal Yank to the end of the fray. When danger threatens they all rally ‘round, That’s why the flag has never touched the ground. There’s a million heroes in each corner of the USA. Verse: Columbus found America the home of peace and rest, And Betsy Ross she found a flag to stand each battle test. Tho’ heroes of the past have laid away the gun, Their spirits live within the hearts of ev’ry native so |
