Lyrics
Great American 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 an anti-social smoker never could turn down a drink
Says he likes his women large cos’ it gives him time to think
A natural politician he can even smell the truth
You know he’s lived by his convictions, he don’t waste no time on proof.
He’s every mother’s dream
Star stripes and silver screen,
Makes you wanna be,
Everything that you can be,
A great American hero.
Ohww, ohwww
Now he likes the old familiar especially if it’s new
Sometimes he gets a little sloppy but whatcha gonna do?
Yeah, he thought he got the wrong ones, turns out he was mistaken! Huh!
Now, you might have your doubts, but his faith is never shaken.
He’s every mother’s dream,
Star stripes and silver screen,
Makes you wanna be,
Everything that you can be,
A great American hero.
Ohhww yeah. Watch it now!
Yeah he’s got a lot of horses and he never taps the breaks
Been known to lose his focus, that’s when he raises the stakes.
Tell me can he can a witness, can he get an amen?
Now [incomprehensible] he’s gonna do it again, oww that’s how you win
He’s every mother’s dream.
Star stripes and silver screen,
Makes you wanna be,
Everything that you can be.
A great American hero.
Owwhh hwoow,
G-G-G- great old hero!
He’s a man with a plan that even he don’t understand, alright!
You’re welcome, Watch it now!,
Oww yeah, now raise the flag!
