Three Cheers for the Good Guys Lyrics


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
[ guitar ]
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 men 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 race 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Harlan Howard (1927-2002), a native of Detroit, was one of the most prolific and successful of the “old school” Nashville songwriters. While living and working in Los Angeles, he enjoyed a few minor successes, before the break-out hits “Pick Me Up On Your Way Down” and “Heartaches by the Number” led him to move to Nashville in 1960. There, he became an immediate success, his songs recorded by innumerable country artists. Among his biggest hits was the Patsy Cline classic “I Fall to Pieces.” A member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame, he was a force in country music until his death.
