"Three Cheers for the Good Guys" Lyrics

(Harlan Howard)

How's about three cheers for the good guys
Those who work hard every week
And get a tear upon their cheek
When they see old glory waving in the breeze.

Yeah, how's about three cheers for the good guys
Who feed their kids and love their wife
And lead a very normal life
And never make the headlines or TV
They pay the bills they also fight the wars
They think this land is well worth fighting for
So how's about three cheers for the good guys
And thank God if we're cheering for you.

--- Instrumental ---

How's about three cheers for the good guys
They don't march and they don't shout
So you never read about
The quiet man who are the backbone of our land.

Yeah, how's about three cheers for the good guys
Mowing lawns and fixing bikes
Taking youngsters out on hikes
And read the news and try to understand
He's Catholic he's Protestant and Jew
He's every creed and color rase and hue
So how's about three cheers for the good guys
And thank God if we're cheering for you.

Yeah, thank God if we're cheering for you...
