We were born during the boom times

Played house down in the bomb shelter

Suffered through the wonder years

And silence at the dinner hour

But once upon a summertime

Out behind the old garage

We were buzzing on midnight

Luckys and Rolling Rock

Thinking we were

Heroes in our own hometown

Nothing less than

Heroes in that old hometown

Some married on a day in June

Some disappeared without a trace

And some of us are still at large

Still searching for a better place

But once upon another time

Didn't matter what they said

And didn't matter if we fell behind

We'd still come out ahead

'Cause we believed

In heroes in that old hometown

Hey you could be

A hero in your own hometown

Now I'm long away and very far

From gazing at an evening sky

From wishing on a shooting star

From thinking that a heart can't lie

This world is gonna wear you thin

Not you up and spin you round

This world will take it's aim

Call you every name trying to bring you down

Everything seems so clear

When you're looking back from such a distance

When the road not taken disappears

Into the path of least resistance

But once upon a time

Oh so long ago

Underneath this same old sky

Every brand new road

Would know that

We were heroes in our own hometown

Heroes in our own hometown

Nothing less than

Heroes in that old hometown

Heroes in our own hometown

We still loved

A hero in our own hometown

Heroes in our own hometown

Baby you could be

A hero in your own hometown
