Every town's got that pretty boy wonderman
Highschool days were breezy
Easy when that charming smile
Lead his way to graduation
Senior year is up boy,
Time to face the real world
No more safe haven for you
Time to jump the nest
Let's see if he can fly
He's the Hometown Hero
The highschool hot shot
Days are so easy when you're promised the night
How does it look
When you can't stand on your own
Hometown Hero, they're counting on you
Captain of the baseball team
Starting shortstop every year
Who would've known
There's competition down the road
He's the Hometown Hero
The highschool hot shot
Days are so eary when you're promised the night
How does it look
When you can't stand on your own
Hometown Hero, They're looking at you
There were all those hands holding you up
And all those eyes expectant of you
You thought you knew pressure - let the world show you what he's got
Another hand is pulled away with every shot
Will you be able to stand when nothing's left?
He's the Hometown Hero
The highschool hot shot
Days are so easy when you're promised the night
How does it look
When you can't stand on your own
Hometown Hero, you were set up to fail
Ooh, it wasn't as easy as it seems
Ooh, they were counting on you
Ooh, you were set up to fail
Ooh, you're just a Hometown Hero
a Hometown Hero.
