Hometown Hero

Hometown Hero

Hero of the cyberworld
Laughter of the school
Slayer of the dragons
But to everyone else just a fool

Hanging out at 7-11
Slur-pie in his hand
This is his heaven
Everything else too bland

His friends are fakes
and his family a lie
Drugs he takes
Just to get by

Needs to get away
From his too small town
He packs his things one day
But his heart is broken down

Makes his way toward the city
That is said to never sleep
Finds a small apartment
He can barely earn his keep

he goes to a bar to drown his tears
he finds a pretty girl and loses all fears
he finds her pretty she finds him sweet
they go out to dinner and dance in the street

A stab at his mind
and hole in his heart
He cannot decide
and is being torn apart

Will he go back home
He misses it so
or will he stay with his love
who he still barely knows

Will he be the hometown hero?
A war between good and bad?
Or will he go back home and be a zero
and miss the one friend he had?
