Hometown Hero
Daddy was a hometown hero
In the fall on '78
If the whole team didn't have to play both ways
He woulda took those boys to state
Well the Lord didn't give me those all-star genes
Or any much skill at all
I've put my head in a helmet
Never could put my heart into playin' ball
But I can put it in a song
I can put it in 3 chords under 4 minutes
Get ya singin' along
Make you feel the beat and the rhythm
And a real good vibe comin' on
Only the good Lord could put my soul into flesh and bone
But I can put it in a song
I can put it in a song
Momma was a hometown hero
Or just the hero of our home
No woman ever loved her children
The way that woman loved her own
Well I've loved a few young ladies
Every time it's gone wrong I've said
'Til I can find a heart like mommas
I'm givin' mine to the honky-tonk
Cuz' I can put it in a song
I can put it in 3 chords under 4 minutes
Get ya singin' along
Make you feel the beat and the rhythm
And a real good vibe comin' on
Only the good Lord could put my soul into flesh and bone
But I can put it in a song
It's the livin' and the learnin'
'Bout my own damn heart and soul
The blood, the sweat, and the tears
That I can't put a price tag on
But I can put it in a song
I can put it in 3 chords under 4 minutes
Get ya singin' along
Make you feel the beat and the rhythm
And a real good vibe comin' on
Only the good Lord could put my soul into flesh and bone
But I can put it in a song
I can put it in a song
In the fall on '78
If the whole team didn't have to play both ways
He woulda took those boys to state
Well the Lord didn't give me those all-star genes
Or any much skill at all
I've put my head in a helmet
Never could put my heart into playin' ball
But I can put it in a song
I can put it in 3 chords under 4 minutes
Get ya singin' along
Make you feel the beat and the rhythm
And a real good vibe comin' on
Only the good Lord could put my soul into flesh and bone
But I can put it in a song
I can put it in a song
Momma was a hometown hero
Or just the hero of our home
No woman ever loved her children
The way that woman loved her own
Well I've loved a few young ladies
Every time it's gone wrong I've said
'Til I can find a heart like mommas
I'm givin' mine to the honky-tonk
Cuz' I can put it in a song
I can put it in 3 chords under 4 minutes
Get ya singin' along

But I can put it in a song

I can put it in 3 chords under 4 minutes
Get ya singin' along
Make you feel the beat and the rhythm
And a real good vibe comin' on
Only the good Lord could put my soul into flesh and bone
But I can put it in a song
I can put it in a song
