From Hero To Zero - Christie

Said that you was king in '53

You carved yourself a place in history

Your name stood ten feet tall in neon lights

Your lucky star would shine on ever bright

They said you had the world right at your feet

A legend that grew up right off the street

Until you started drinking it away

You might have been a hero still today

From hero to zero

Won’t be my epitaph

I’ll be the last to laugh

From hero to zero

I’ll be the one decider on my fate

Guess it doesn’t matter anyway

Just how you sing the blues and how you play

I guess you just can’t make it off the floor

Well now you’re not the kingpin anymore

From hero to zero

Won’t be my epitaph

I’ll be the last to laugh

From hero to zero

I’ll be the one decider on my fate
