Merle Haggard - I'll Be A Hero (When I Strike) Lyrics
All because I walk a different streetAnd not helloed by some I meetThat don't mean that what I do ain't rightThose that said that I was wrongNow say thay knew it all along'Cause I'll be a hero when I strikeI'll be a hero when I strikeCome up tight and out of sightThey'll say I'm dynamiteAnd they'd like to be there when I lite'Cause I'll be a hero when I strikeI love God and the flagAnd I ain't the kind to stand and bragAnd I'm the kind to stand right up and fightDon't need a uniform to wearTo make the people stop and stare'Cause, Hoss, I'll be a hero when I strikeI'll be a hero when I strikeCome up tight and out of sightThey'll say I'm dynamiteAnd they'd like to be there when I lite'Cause I'll be a hero when I strikeWon't shake hands until I'm soreWear medals hangin' to the floorThey'll throw rocks at Franklin and his kindThey'll say, boy, ain't that cowboy hotThere ain't nothin' he ain't gotBut I'm gonna be a hero when I strikeI'll be a hero when I strikeCome up tight and out of sightThey'll say I'm dynamiteAnd they'd like to be there when I lite'Cause I'll be a hero when I strike
