Local Hero

I was driving through my hometown\nI was just kinda killin' time\nWhen I seen a face staring out of a black velvet painting\nFrom the window of the five and dime\nI couldn’t quite recall the name\nBut the pose looked familiar to me So I asked the salesgirl «Who was that man\nBetween the doberman and Bruce Lee?»\nShe said «Just a local hero»\n«Local hero"she said with a smile\n«Yeah a local hero he used to live here for a while»\nI met a stranger dressed in black\nAt the train station\nHe said «Son your soul can be saved»\nThere’s beautiful women nights of low livin'\nAnd some dangerous money to be made\nThere’s a big town 'cross the whiskey line\nAnd if we turn the right cards up They make us boss the devil pays off\nAnd them folks that are real hard up They get their local hero\nSomebody with the right style\nThey get their local hero\nSomebody with just the right smile\nWell I learned my job I learned it well\nFit myself with religion and a story to tell\nFirst they made me the king then they made me pope\nThen they brought the rope\nI woke to a gypsy girl sayin' «Drink this»\nWell my hands had lost all sensation\nThese days I’m feeling all right\n'Cept I can’t tell my courage from my desperation\nFrom the tainted chalice\nWell I drunk some heady wine\nTonight I’m layin' here\nBut there’s something in my ear\nSayin' there’s a little town just beneath the floodline\nNeeds a local hero\nSomebody with the right style\nLookin' for a local hero\nSomeone with the right smile\nLocal hero local hero she said with a smile
