Hometown Hero - Interstate 10

Everybody want Nashville, Tennessee

Platinum records and big 'ol dreams

So you play from your heart

And you act the part

Until they tell you «One day you’re gonna be a star»

But the years go by and you dream of home

Where everybody knows and sings your songs

And these washed out covers

They’re getting old

And I just wanna go home

Where I’m a Hometown Hero

Playing my songs for everybody I know

I’m a Hometown Hero

Playing for the faces that wrote my songs

I’m a Hometown, Hometown Hero

The view of the crowd never seems to change

Cigarette clouds in a dark blue haze

Are the lights to bright?

Do I sing too loud?

Is the pressure from the critics getting me down?

I remember back home, how they set up my stage

The lights were just right, I didn’t need to get paid

With a bucket of beer waiting for the band

And the crowd in the palm of my hand

‘Cuz I’m a Hometown Hero

Playing my songs for everybody I know

I’m a Hometown Hero

Playing for the faces that wrote my songs

I’m a Hometown, Hometown Hero

It’s where I learned how to dance, I got my first band

My daddy taught me how to be a good man

I learned how to kiss for the very first time

Drove late at night with no headlights

When I play at «The Stage on Broadway»

With a bought out band who I can’t relate

I dream of my home

I dream of my friends

I wanna go back to where it all began

‘Cuz I’m a Hometown Hero

Playing my songs for everybody I know

I’m a Hometown Hero

Playing for the faces that wrote my songs

I’m a Hometown, Hometown Hero

‘Cuz I’m a Hometown Hero

Playing my songs for everybody I know

I’m a Hometown Hero

Playing for the faces that wrote my songs

I’m a Hometown, Hometown Hero
