Lyrics

Maybe I'll go down to the county fair
I hear that there's a lot of freaks like me down there
They swallow swords while the people stare
And make fun of their dreams
They make a living at their own expense
Well, hey, that's just like me, I guess
I just, I walk through the fire and pray I won't get burned
Now I'll never be the one they expected me to be
But I keep holding on to what's left of this crazy dream
I'm a little bit shy of the big time, honey
Sinking in, but Lord, I'm standing my ground
I ain't going any further down
And if the good Lord's willing and the time is right
I'm taking back over, oh, 'cause this is my life
And I won't lose it without a fight
I'm gonna make myself a hero tonight
Maybe I'll drive myself into town
See if any of my old friends are still hanging around
Talk a little bullshit and shoot some crap
Make fun of our dreams, you know we'll be singing
"La, la, la, la, la," I don't know, I can't remember the rest
Hey, that's how it goes, it's a endless circle of tos and fros
Ups and downs and slides, yeah
Now I'll never be the one that's most likely to succeed
But I keep holding on to what's left of this crazy dream
I'm a little bit shy of the big time, honey
Sinking in, but Lord, I'm standing my ground
I ain't going any further down
And if the good Lord's willing and the time is right
I'm taking back over, oh, 'cause this is my life
And I won't lose it without a fight
I'm gonna make myself a hero tonight
And this world keeps turning 'round
Sometimes it turns me upside down
Sometimes it's all I can do to find my feet again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, I'm a little bit shy of the big time, honey
I'm sinking in, but Lord, I'm standing my ground
I ain't going any further down
And if the good Lord's willing and the time is right
I'm taking back over, oh, 'cause this is my life
And I won't lose it without a fight
I'm gonna make myself a hero
Make myself a hero, yeah, yeah
Make myself a hero tonight
