Hometown Hero

I get my drinks for free in Tulsa if I'm feeling friendly

I can make a couple bucks if I sing a little Whitley

I'm a hometown hero taking time off the road

I bet my buddies are probably waiting on me, praying I walk in

And if they're lucky, I might buy a round of anything but gin

I'm a hometown hero getting ready to explode

But I don't need any sympathy

And I don't want anything but wine

She may be gone, but she won't forget me

'Cause heroes don't die, Lord knows I've tried

But love just won't let me

See I've been all around the world, I've seen Rome and Paris too

And none of them can hold a flame to laying eyes on you

Under the soft lit haze of our empty room

I sure won't lay awake tonight wondering if I could have changed

Done a few things different, and maybe you'd have stayed

But I can't turn back time and that's a crying shame

But I don't need any sympathy

And I don't want anything but wine

She may be gone, but she won't forget me

'Cause heroes don't die, Lord knows I've tried

But love just won't let me
