Lyrics by: Ollie Manow


Verse 1
He’s everybody’s idol he’s the boy who made it good.
A diamond smile only stays a while and a heart that’s made of wood.
We always knew he would reach the top and leave behind this melting pot.
One last thing before he went said he’d never be back, and he was spent.

Chorus
But he’s our hometown hero, like Cesar or Nero an emperor and a big shot and boy he’s got the lot.
Cause he’s our hometown hero, like Cesar or Nero an emperor and a big shot and boy he’s got the lot.

Verse 2
He’s living our dream and not looking back.
He’s launching himself on a different path.
Fast cars, girls, and private jets.
And front row seats for the New York Mets.



Chorus
But he’s our hometown hero, like Cesar or Nero an emperor and a big shot and boy he’s got the lot.
Cause he’s our hometown hero, like Cesar or Nero an emperor and a big shot and boy he’s got the lot.

Verse 3

Wish we were him oh yes, we do.
A chance to feel alive and set ourselves free.
A whole new journey and a mystery
But for now, we will just look in aw and let our jaw drop to the floor at

Chorus
Our hometown hero, like Cesar or Nero an emperor and a big shot and boy he’s got the lot.
Cause he’s our hometown hero, like Cesar or Nero an emperor and a big shot and boy he’s got the lot.

Repeat Verse 1 to 3 and chorus again and then finish with outro.

Outro
One last thing before we go, lets shout out loud and let him know that.
He’s our hometown hero, hometown hero, hometown hero, (Heavy drums)
