Childhood Hero Lyrics - Bobby Bare

She smiled and said if you are who I think you are I'd really like to meet you 

I laughed and said if you are what I think you are I'd like to meet you too 

She said you've taught me lots of things 

But I'll bet there's some things that I could teach you 

And though you don't know me I sure know you 

Cause you are my childhood hero she said 

I got all your records I know all your songs 

And I got your picture tacked over my bed 

And you know I once wrote you a letter she said 

And I don't believe that a night that was spent 

By a girl with her childhood hero could ever be wrong 

A thousand songs a hundred poems and a half half a fifth of Chivas Regal 

While my picture on the wall looked down and winked at me as if the bastard knew 

And he listened as she whispered hold me close so I can dream about this later 

When you've forgotten me I'll remember you 

Cause you are my childhood hero...
