Hometown Hero |
Hometown hero flexing his charm |
With a borderline joke to the guys at the bar |
And they slap their knees like they’ve not heard it before |
Thirty-five years old wearing his badge |
Nickname for life on the shoulder of his bomber |
That he wears as the coach of the high school team |
He lights his cigarette |
And says, «Man these things will kill me someday» |
Raises his glass and says, «Here's to hoping» |
Hometown hero flexing his arm |
With a five-yard pass to the end of the bar |
He says, «I'll be right back I’m just gonna go grab another pack.» |
Walks one block to the all-night station |
And steps into a situation |
There’s a man with a gun pointed at the nervous clerk |
And before he could think |
He was tackling the gunman |
Who hit his head and was knocked unconscious |
The clerk relieved said, «Oh my god |
You’re a hero man and you should stick around |
'Til the cops get here, maybe you’ll make the morning news.» |
But the hometown hero rose to his feet |
Tossed him the gun and said, «Thanks, but I’ve gotta run |
I’ll take a pack of camel lights and be on my way.» |
He stepped outside the door |
Heard the sirens in the distance |
Lit his cigarette |
And said, «Man these things will kill me someday» |
Exhaled smoke and said, «Here's to hoping» |
