Hometown Heroes Lyrics - Stuart Marty

Ah Henry, you sure bought that whole James Dean thing 

Right down to the end 

Drinking beer, banging gears 

On the outside looking in 

It was a desperate time on small town stage 

With no prize comin' for the coming of age 

So you burned with a passion and you burned with a rage 

Till the fire done pulled you in 

And me, I was just a green eyed kid 

And you were two years older than me 

As I look back on those days, my friend 

You were what we all wanted to be 

Henry, you were quick with a smile 

Good with a wheel, cool with the women 

As you made your spiel 

Like we were all gonna rise in flash of steel 

In some teenage fantasy 

So look out, you hometown heroes 

Look out, you homecoming queens 

There's a bad kid comin' to the party tonight 

And he's coming apart at the seams 

Now your old man still stares at the streets sometimes 

With that lost look in his eyes 

And your sad momma wakes in the heat of the night 

And thinks about her baby and cries 

Now the all night crew's all settled down 

It's been thirteen years in the same old town 

The sun comes up and the rain falls down 

On that hillside where you lie 

So look out, you hometown heroes 

Look out, you homecoming queens 

There's a bad kid comin' to the party tonight 

And he's coming apart at the seams 

So look out, you hometown heroes 

Look out, you homecoming queens 

There's a bad kid comin' to the party tonight 

And he's coming apart at the seams 

So look out, you hometown heroes 

Look out, you homecoming queens 

There's a bad kid comin' to the party tonight 

And he's coming apart at the seams
