Lyrics Bobby Bare – Childhood Hero
Text:
She smiled and said, «If you are who I think you are
I’d really like to meet you.»
I laughed and said, «If you are what I think you are
I’d like to meet you too.»
She said, «You’ve taught me lots of things
But I’ll bet there’s some things that I could teach you
And though you don’t know me
I sure know you.»
«‘Cause you are my childhood hero.», she said
«I got all your records I know all your songs
And I got your picture tacked over my bed
And you know I once wrote you a letter.», she said
«And I don’t believe that a night that was spent
By a girl with her childhood hero could ever be wrong.»
«A thousand songs, a hundred poems
And a half, half a fifth of Chivas Regal
While my picture on the wall looked down
And winked at me as if the bastard knew.»
And he listened as she whispered,»Hold me close
So I can dream about this later
When you’ve forgotten me
I’ll remember you.»
«‘Cause you are my childhood hero.», she said
«I got all your records I know all your songs
And I got your picture tacked over my bed
And you know I once wrote you a letter.», she said
«And I don’t believe that a night that was spent
By a girl with her childhood hero could ever be wrong…»
