Rock'n Roll Hero
You know, you used to be like a hero to me
I'd stand in my spot
You'd be on that stage
And the songs that were played
Sounded like they were just for me
So, go ahead and take that next drink
Let it burn in your throat,
Let it numb all the pain
You'll cause a big scene
You'll have a grand ole time
Tomorrow morning it will all be a blur
But tomorrow night you'll be at it again
Rock'n roll hero,
What happened to you?
Was it that fire inside you,
Did it all burn away?
Cause people could see it
It shone for miles and miles
Rock'n roll hero,
Can't you hear what you're playin'?
You stand up so tall
On that big stage
All the kids are loving it
They think you're loving them too
Rock'n roll hero,
What town are you in?
Your girl has stopped calling you
You've lost all of your friends
Yeah, you feel the pain
Things will never be the same
Rock'n roll hero,
The bottle took your wings
Never had that halo,
But you always had the wings
The bottle must have been so alluring,
The promises it told you
Yeah, you let the bottle take your wings
Never again will it be the same
When you grace that stage
I will not be there
You'll stumble through the songs
The crowd will give great applause
Cause you were once a
Rock'n roll hero
This was written Tuesday morning around 6:15am. It's one of those things where you get up and write it and think how effin' brilliant you are, but then you read it again and it ain't THAT great.
I swear, this is NOT aimed at anyone in particular. Take it how you want to.
