Bolton, Michael - Hometown Hero Lyrics






Well alright, you put your heart and your soul on the line
You pay the price, you can leave all your dues behind, yeah
You go spinning your wheels, till just one song makes it right
Live your life on the road, now they call you a star overnight
Overnight, overnight, oh no no

[Chorus:]
Gave it all, for it seemed like ages
Lived the life of a rolling stone
Seen the world from a thousand stages
There ain't no feelin', you've ever known
Like when a hometown boy comes home

This guy's a joker, and this is not the key to your found
And there's always somebody, who thinks he makes a living
From putting you down
You're aware of the odds, just forgetting the chance you must take
When you're bound to a vision, there is no decision to make
No no no

[Chorus]

When he comes home
The road is long and you're on your own
But through it all you know your roots run so deep
Out on the rock and roll highway
You make a promise to bring it back home
And that's one promise, you know ya gotta keep

[Chorus]

But it's never gonna feel like
When a hometown boy comes home
He's a hometown hero

    Good song from the album Everybody’s Crazy, sorry but I hadn’t found your music at this stage....In Uk we didn’t hear much about you at this stage of your career, but I’m so glad I found you you 1989 Michael !! Your music is amazing and I’m still looking for that one song of yours that I don’t care for, but there isn’t one as you’re the best, and your voice is incredibly beautiful and sends me on sooo many songs.

    Hi Michael , Jan from Staffordshire U.K. ....
    I haven't heard this track before but I can empathize with the words ......you are just amazing Michael!!!!
    My hometown hero's are my great uncle who fought in the second world war ....
    He shared some stories of battles, one in particular that I have never forgotten....
    The ship that he was on was sank at sea, a few of the men him included were left floating in the sea!!
    They formed a circle tiring to keep each other safe , but they were being circled by sharks, they were getting picked off one by one!! After a few days the remaining few including my great uncle luckily were saved!!
    My second hero was my Dad.....he was sent to Malaysia to do his national service.....3 year's he was out there for!!
    He was one of the many men that cleared parts of the jungle to make air strips for planes to be able to land
    It was a very dangerous place! Both because of the Japanese Gurkhas and the wild animals to....
    They are my hero's because of the things that they both lived through and survived!!!
    Sorry that my reply was so long Michael!!!
    Take care ...much love and hugs ❤️❤️❤️
