Small Town Heroes Lyrics
He always dreamed of bein’ a cowboy
Ridin’ bareback, ropin’ steers
Playin’ cards in smokey barrooms
Swingin’ ropes and tall draft beers
Livin’ like a small town hero
In the high noon shootout years
In a small mid-western city
A young man hungered for a taste of fame
So this kid that they called Billy
He made his mark in a fast gun game
With hands as fast as lightning
and cold blood on his name
Chorus:
Small town heroes shine like diamonds
Small town heroes rare as gold
Small town heroes to look up to
Small town heroes hard to hold
Well Billy went to Mexico
Garrett on his trail
Young Billy swore he’d never go
Back to rot in jail
Well Pat Garrett shot him down
Although he was his friend
A typical small town hero’s end
Chorus:
Small town heroes shine like diamonds
Small town heroes rare as gold
Small town heroes to look up to
Small town heroes hard to hold
Oh oh oh small town heroes
Oh oh oh small town heroes
Oh oh oh small town heroes
Ridin’ bareback, ropin’ steers
Playin’ cards in smokey barrooms
Swingin’ ropes and tall draft beers
Livin’ like a small town hero
In the high noon shootout years
A young man hungered for a taste of fame
So this kid that they called Billy
He made his mark in a fast gun game
With hands as fast as lightning
and cold blood on his name
Small town heroes shine like diamonds
Small town heroes rare as gold
Small town heroes to look up to
Small town heroes hard to hold
Garrett on his trail
Young Billy swore he’d never go
Back to rot in jail
Well Pat Garrett shot him down
Although he was his friend
A typical small town hero’s end
Small town heroes shine like diamonds
Small town heroes rare as gold
Small town heroes to look up to
Small town heroes hard to hold
Oh oh oh small town heroes
Oh oh oh small town heroes
