Lyrics
Sonata / He's A Hero
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He's a sharp dresser, father confessor
To every honky tonk queen
He's a big spender
A no interest lender
For the local bar scene
He's a hero, he's a hero
He's a zero to the outside world
He's a hero, he's a hero
But he strikes out with every girl
In the outside world
He's a sweet talker, marathon walker
For any friend that's far away
He's a long drinker, very deep. thinker
As long as it ain't by day
He's a hero, he's a hero
He's a zero to the outside world
He's a hero, he's a hero
But he strikes out with every girl
In the outside world
He sleeps all day, creeps all night
From the. midnight hour on
He's a mighty might
He's a hero, he's a hero
He's a zero to the outside world
He's a hero, he's a hero
But he strikes out with every girl
In the outside world
He's a father confessor
To every honky tonk queen
He's the high priest of nothin'
If you know what I mean
He's a hero, he's a hero
He's a zero to the outside world
He's a hero, he's a hero
But he strikes out with every girl
In the outside world
