Текст песни Hero In Your Own Hometown

We were born during the boom times, played house down in the bomb shelter Suffered through the wonder years, and silence at the dinner hour But once upon a summertime, out behind the old garage We were buzzing on midnight, Luckys and Rolling Rock Thinking we were heroes in our own hometown Nothing less than heroes in that old hometown Some married on a day in June, some disappeared without a trace And some of us are still at large, still searching for a better place But once upon another time, it didn't matter what they said Didn't matter if we fell behind, we'd still come out ahead Cause we believed in heroes in that old hometown Hey, you could be a hero in your own hometown Now I'm long away and very far, from gazing at an evening sky From wishing on a shooting star, from thinking that a heart can't lie This world is gonna wear you thin, knot you up and spin you round This world will take it's aim, call you every name, trying to bring you down Everything seems so clear when you're looking back from such a distance When the road not taken disappears into the path of least resistance But once upon a time oh so long ago Underneath this same old sky every brand new road Would know that we were heroes in our own hometown Nothing less than heroes in that old hometown We still loved a hero in our own hometown Baby you could be a hero in your own hometown
