I'll Be A Hero When I Strike

D
All because I walk a different street and not helloed by some I meet
D
That don't mean that what I do ain't right
D
Those that said that I was wrong, now say thay knew it all along
D
'Cause I'll be a hero when I strike


Chorus:
D
I'll be a hero when I strike
C
Come up tight and out of sight
G
They'll say I'm dynamite
A
And they'd like to be there when I lite
                                     D 
'Cause I'll be a hero when I strike


I love God and the flag and I ain't the kind to stand and brag
And I'm the kind to stand right up and fight
Don't need a uniform to wear to make the people stop and stare
'Cause, Hoss, I'll be a hero when I strike


Chorus


Won't shake hands until I'm sore, wear medals hangin' to the floor
They'll throw rocks at Franklin and his kind
They'll say, boy, ain't that cowboy hot, there ain't nothin' he ain't got
But I'm gonna be a hero when I strike

Chorus
