Hometown Hero

Well alright, you put your heart and your soul on the line

You pay the price, you can leave all your dues behind, yeah

You go spinning your wheels, till just one song makes it right

Live your life on the road, now they call you a star overnight

Overnight, overnight, oh no no

CHORUS:

Gave it all, for it seemed like ages

Lived the life of a rolling stone

Seen the world from a thousand stages

There ain't no feelin', you've ever known

Like when a hometown boy comes home

This guy's a joker, and this is not the key to your found

And there's always somebody, who thinks he makes a living

From putting you down

You're aware of the odds, just forgetting the chance you must take

When you're bound to a vision, there is no decision to make

No no no

CHORUS:

When he comes home

The road is long and you're on your own

But through it all you know your roots run so deep

Out on the rock and roll highway

You make a promise to bring it back home

And that's one promise, you know ya gotta keep

CHORUS:

But it's never gonna feel like

When a hometown boy comes home

He's a hometown hero
