Lyrics
Hometown 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.
We're gonna break away, the engine's hot and running
We'll take this nowhere town and turn it into something
We're gonna lose control and set the wheels in motion
Well, we're staking our claims, yeah, they'll remember our names
Going down in a blaze of glory, going out in a flash of light
You know it goes with the territory, when you run the night
You want to be a hometown hero, and nothing's standing in your way
Take it all the way from zero, never fade away
Now you and I can make it happen, show you what it's all about
We'll take the night and turn it inside out
Yeah, inside out
They say that eagles dare while others only follow
You've got to raise the stakes and bet against tomorrow
Storm the barricade and cross that line of fire
When the damage is done, you know, the legend lives on
Going down in a blaze of glory, going out in a flash of light
You know it goes with the territory, when you run the night
You want to be a hometown hero, and nothing's standing in your way
Take it all the way from zero, never fade away
Now you and I can make it happen, show you what it's all about
We'll take the night and turn it inside out
Yeah, inside out
You want to be a hometown hero, and nothing's standing in your way
Take it all the way from zero, never fade away
Now you and I can make it happen, show you what it's all about
We'll take the night and turn it inside out
Yeah, inside out
You want to be a hometown hero, we'll turn it inside out
You want to be a hometown hero, we'll turn it inside out
You want to be a hometown hero
Yeah
