Hero

It's not like I wouldn't dream
if you had not shown the way
It's not like I wouldn't fight

not knowing 'bout your life
It's not like I wouldn't stand

right here with my friends
But you threw us all a line
when our days slipped away
You gave us of your time
Cause you were my hero, my Friday night

You wrote the soundtrack to my life

And gave me something to hold on to

When I was growing up you were the rock
In my life
It's not like I live my days by every word you spoke

Like I'm up every night drinking with your ghost

It's not like I can't look back without moving on
But you threw us all a line when our days slipped away
You gave us of your time
Cause you were my hero, my Friday night
You wrote the soundtrack to my life
And gave us kids a chance to dream
Days when I had enough, you were the rock
In my life
You still throw me that line
as my days slipped away
You give me of your time
You're still my hero, my Friday night
You wrote the soundtrack to my life
You give me something to hold on to
As I'm still growing up you are the rock
In my life
