Art Rothafel - Home Town Hero Lyrics

Home Town Hero

She said, "Johnny, go out and see the world"
"You've got to find out where you belong"
Hit the road with your dreams and fire
Find out what's right and what's just wrong


Through the cities and the lights, you'll roam
But deep inside, you'll always see
No matter where or what you become
Your heart will forever belong to me....


I'll be waiting here for my Hometown Hero
Waiting for you to take my hand
I'll be waiting here for my Hometown Hero
I'm the only one who really understands

There will be lovers and others who fill you
That's what makes the world go round
But in your deepest darkest hour
The love that you seek is already found


From first days together as lovers
I always knew to set you free
But when your wandering soul gets tired
You will always come home to me


I'll be waiting here for my Hometown Hero
Waiting for you to take my hand
I'll be waiting here for my Hometown Hero
I'm the only one who really understands
