Lyrics
I stood
I watched
As you got behind your wheel
You saddled up
straddled up
Or just Entered the game
Made the locals swoon
You took that shot
The Hometown Hero
ride with speed
Master the wheel
Take the swing
Make that goal
You’re the kid !
The immortal save
The final wave
You Let emotions fly
Forget the Who, when or why
towns champion
Towns number one
forget The Who, when or why
Hometown hero
I stood
I watched
And who really cares
I saw happy old clashes
Heard stories about the stepping in and why
But Who cares about when or why
We need Hometown Hero’s
More everyday
May they all go on shining
In our towns eye
Forget the when where’s and why’s
Our Hometown Hero
Let them ride
May they Shine
Doesn’t matter who when or why
