I'll

 

be honest...It's kinda a theme song RN.

Obvious reasons :-).

Plus I always just liked it.

"I was driving through my hometown, I was just kinda killing time

When I seen a face staring out of a black velvet painting from the window of the Five And Dime

I couldn't quite recall the name but the pose looked familiar to me

So I asked the salesgirl "Who was that man between the Doberman and Bruce Lee?"

She said "Just a local hero", "Local hero" she said with a smile

"Yeah a local hero, he used to live here for a while"

I met a stranger dressed in black at the train station, he said "Son your soul can be saved"

There's beautiful women, nights of low living, and some dangerous money to be made

There's a big town 'cross the whiskey line and if we turn the right cards up

Well they make us boss, the devil pays off, and them folks that are real hard up

They get their local hero, yeah somebody with the right style

They get their local hero, yeah somebody with just the right smile

Well I learned my job, I learned it well

Fit myself with religion and a story to tell

First they made me the king then they made me pope

Well then they brought the rope

Whoa!

I woke to a gypsy girl saying "Drink this", well my hands had lost all sensation

These days I'm feeling all right except I can't tell my courage from my desperation

From the tainted chalice well I drunk some heady wine

Tonight I'm laying here but there's something in my ear saying there's a little town just beneath the floodline

Needs a local hero, yeah somebody with the right style

Looking for a local hero, yeah someone with the right smile

Looking for a local hero, yeah somebody with the right smile

Looking for a local hero, yeah somebody with just the right smile

Local hero, "local hero" she said with a smile

Local, local hero, he used to live here for a while..."
