Bryan Fontenot - Hometown Hero Lyrics

Ive been playing here for quarters
in this small town country bar
Everybody seems to know me around here, 
They all slap my back and tell me boy “we’ll know that you’ll go far,”
I guess that in their minds it’s simple and it’s clear

Lord I sometimes get to thinking
as I take a break and drink 
me one and breathe a sigh while I listen to the dance
Lord with all my momma’s praying, 
and these songs that I keep playing
Will this hometown hero ever have a chance?

I’ll just play another set or two
turn the jukebox on when I get through
I’ll get my pay and have myself a beer 
I wondered how long I’ll be playing here 
And there’s a woman sitting next to me
She’s heard about the star I’m gonna be
Heaven knows they wish me well 
but this music road’s been hell
on a Hometown Hero

Now there’s times I miss the old days 
and the way things used to be 
before I started reaching for this drink
all my friends tell me I’m different
but I’m still the same to me
 ‘cause I’ve still got this hat 
my beat up Wrangler jeans
Well all I’ve ever cared to do 
is play me some simple tunes 
with Jones and Chris and boys like that 
If that record man could only know
the million songs that I’ve had blow 
round this beat up cowboy’s hat

But I’ll just play another set or two
turn the jukebox on when I get through
I’ll get my pay and have myself a beer 
I wondered how long I’ll be playing here 
And there’s a woman sitting next to me
She’s heard about the star I’m gonna be
Heaven knows they wish me well 
but this music road’s been hell
on a Hometown Hero

I’m just a hometown’s hero
