Marty Stuart - Hometown Heroes lyrics

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 pa**ion 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
