《Hero In Your Own Hometown(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Hero In Your Own Hometown - Mary Chapin Carpenter

[00:00:15] We were born during the boom times

[00:00:19] Played house down in the bomb shelter

[00:00:22] Suffered through the wonder years

[00:00:25] And silence at the dinner hour

[00:00:29] But once upon a summertime

[00:00:32] Out behind the old garage

[00:00:35] We were buzzing on midnight

[00:00:38] Luckys and Rolling Rock

[00:00:42] Thinking we were

[00:00:43] Heroes in our own hometown

[00:00:49] Nothing less than

[00:00:50] Heroes in that old hometown

[00:00:56] Some married on a day in June

[00:00:59] Some disappeared without a trace

[00:01:03] And some of us are still at large

[00:01:06] Still searching for a better place

[00:01:10] But once upon another time

[00:01:12] Didn't matter what they said

[00:01:16] And didn't matter if we fell behind

[00:01:19] We'd still come out ahead

[00:01:23] 'Cause we believed

[00:01:24] In heroes in that old hometown

[00:01:29] Hey you could be

[00:01:30] A hero in your own hometown

[00:01:37] Now I'm long away and very far

[00:01:40] From gazing at an evening sky

[00:01:44] From wishing on a shooting star

[00:01:47] From thinking that a heart can't lie

[00:01:51] This world is gonna wear you thin

[00:01:54] Not you up and spin you round

[00:01:57] This world will take it's aim

[00:01:59] Call you every name trying to bring you down

[00:02:19] Everything seems so clear

[00:02:21] When you're looking back from such a distance

[00:02:25] When the road not taken disappears

[00:02:28] Into the path of least resistance

[00:02:32] But once upon a time

[00:02:34] Oh so long ago

[00:02:38] Underneath this same old sky

[00:02:42] Every brand new road

[00:02:45] Would know that

[00:02:45] We were heroes in our own hometown

[00:02:50] Heroes in our own hometown

[00:02:52] Nothing less than

[00:02:53] Heroes in that old hometown

[00:02:56] Heroes in our own hometown

[00:02:59] We still loved

[00:03:00] A hero in our own hometown

[00:03:03] Heroes in our own hometown

[00:03:05] Baby you could be

[00:03:07] A hero in your own hometown
