Lyrics

I'm a family man, with family ties
A regular joe with an angel for a wife
I play catch in the yard with my son,
prayin' my little girl turns out
just like her mom
I count my blessings each and every day
Knowin' one alarm, could take me away
But I do, what I love to do
its not a case of having to
I know the risk, I pay the price
it's not a job; it's my life,
so if I say good-bye,
climbing that ladder to the sky,
don't cry.
Don't call me a hero.
Inside I'm still that little boy
with a big red hat and a firetruck Tonka toy
I'd race through town as the siren scream
flashing lights, I'd pull up to the scene
Knock down a door, run through the smokey dark
Then reappear with a baby in my arms
I do, what I love to do
Its not a case of having to
I know the risk, I pay the price
Its not a job; its my life
so if I say good-bye, climbing that ladder to the sky,
don't cry.
Don't call me a hero
If I ever wave good-bye from that ladder in the sky,
don't cry.
Don't call me a hero.
