Hero - Chris Lane

Her and her friends piled into a Camry

Headed downtown, got in for free

She’s all dolled up, looking VIP

Walked in, found a booth, took a seat

Wiped the tear from the corner of her eye

Faked a smile to the Corona guy

Usually she wouldn’t give him the time of day

But hey, in here tonight

She don’t wanna feel nothing real

She just want somebody to give her attention

For a minute, call her beautiful

She ain’t trying to wind up in love

She’s just trying to burn some time up

On a Friday night in the neon light

Yeah, he hurt her soul

She just needs a hero to save her

From being all alone

From paying for a drink she don’t want

Nothing more than a dance or two

She’s feeling blue

But she just needs a hero, mmm

And she just needs a hero

He’s all geared up for his football game

He’s wearing his jersey with the same last name

A still reminder of the guy that ain’t around these days

And his mama’s up in them aluminum stands

Saying 'run, baby run', she’s his number one fan

Doing the best she can

But wondering why his daddy can’t be a better man

He just wants to feel what kids feel

Walking off the football field

After winning, for a minute

In his daddy’s pads

The kid should never have to wonder

If his old man even loves him

On a Friday night under Friday lights

Shouldn’t be so sad

That should be his hero

That left him and his mama all alone

Barely even calls him on the phone

Every year in March, sends a birthday card

But he just needs a hero, mmm

Yeah, he just needs a hero

There’s an old white haired preacher man

With a leather bind good book on the stand

Says 'if you’re ready for a change, here’s your chance

With every head bow, slip up your hand'

If you wanna feel something real

That this mean old world can’t kill

Not even Satan

There’s a saviour, he’ll wash away your sins

All you gotta do is reap in

Open up your heart, accept him and

He’ll save your soul

Jesus is a hero, ooo

And everybody needs a hero

Jesus is a hero, ooo

And everybody needs a hero
