No, you ain't lookin' for a shoutout or a spotlight
                              C
You're just happy to be here drinkin' cold beer
         G
In your cheap seats, on a Friday night
 F                   C
Workin' a long week off

The front lines in the mornin'

She ain't in it for the glory
 
     G             F           C
The angels in the wings tryna fly behind the scenes

Betcha everybody in this place has got a unsung hero
 
That's for damn sure
          F                          C
And they all deserve to have a good time
