Hometown Heroes

Henry, you sure bought that whole James Dean thing
Right down to the end,
Drinkin' beers and bangin' gears,
on the outside lookin' in
Such a desperate time on the small town stage
With no prize comin' for the comin' of age
So you burned with a passion and
you burned with a rage
Til the fire done pulled you in
And me, I was just a green-eyed kid
And you were two years older than me
But as I look back on those days in the dust
You were all I wanted to be
You were quick with a smile and good with a wheel
Cool with the women and you made us all feel
Like we were all gonna rise in a flash of steel
In some teenage fantasy
So look out you hometown heroes
And look out you homecomin' queens
Cause there's a bad kid comin' to the party tonight
And he's comin' apart at the seams
Now your old man still stares at the street sometimes
With a lost look in his eyes
And your sad mama wakes in the heat of the night
And she thinks about her baby and cries
Now the all night crew is all settled down
It's been thirty odd years it's the same old town
The sun comes up and the rain comes down
On that hillside where you lie
So look out you hometown heroes
And look out you homecomin' queens
Cause there's a bad kid comin' to the party tonight
And he's comin' apart at the seams
Ah Henry, you sure bought that whole James Dean thing
Right down to the end,
Drinkin' beers and bangin' gears,
on the outside lookin' in
Such a desperate time on the small town stage
With no prize comin' for the comin' of age
So you burned with a passion and
you burned with a rage
Til the fire done pulled you in
