"Hometown Hero"
written by Charly Lowry

Verse 1

Hometown Hero- lost a life today
Folks try their best, but sometimes, it's just hard to explain.

Stripped away from a lover's arms,
carried off on the wings of love....

Chorus

And I'll be waiting, to see your face again
Waiting, oh waiting
Though I didn't have a chance to say "goodbye"
I'll say "hello" in the afterlife, just like....
The first time we met.

Verse 2

Sometimes I wish, on a falling star
And I wonder- how high up you are
Thinking to myself, "oh it feels so nice"
To believe in another world.

Chorus

And I'll be waiting, to see your face again
Waiting, oh waiting
And though I didn't have a chance to say "goodbye"
I'll say "hello" in the afterlife, just like....
The first time we met.

Bridge

You give me- the sweetest memories
You, oh you'll always, always...
Mean the world to me
And that's why....

Chorus X 2

I'll be waiting, to see your face again
Waiting, oh waiting
And though I didn't have a chance to say "goodbye"
I'll say "hello" in the afterlife, just like....
The first time we met.
