Hometown Hero

(album: Wildside - 1987)

We're gonna break away
The engine's hot and running
We'll take this nowhere town
And turn it into something
We're gonna lose control
And set the wheels in motion
Well, we're stoking our claims
Yeah, they'll remember our names

Going down in a blaze of glory
Going out in a flash of light
You know it goes with the territory
When you run the night

You wont to be a hometown hero
And nothing's standing in your way
Take it all the way from zero
Never fade away

Now you and I can make it happen
Show you what it's all about
We'll take the night
And turn it inside out... yeah... inside out

They say that eagles dare
While others only follow
You've got to raise the stakes
And bet against tomorrow
Storm the barricade
And cross that line of fire
When the damage is done
You know, the legend lives on

Going down in a blaze of glory
Going out in a flash of light
You know it goes with the territory
When you run the night

You want to be a hometown hero
And nothing's standing in your way
Take it all the way from zero
Never fade away

Now you and I can make it happen
Show you what it's all about
We'll take the night
And turn it inside out... look out

You want to be a hometown hero
Nothing's standing in your way
Take it all the way from zero
Never fade away
Now you and I can moke it happen
We'll show you what it's all about
We'll take the night
And turn it Inside out... oh yeah

Well, you want to be a hometown hero
We'll turn it inside out
You want to be a hometown hero
We'll turn it inside out
You want to be a hometown hero

Yeah
