HOMETOWN HERO
Words and Music By Judy Money

Years have flown swiftly by
Your childhood memories
Are enough to make me cry
You heard your country call
You gave the greatest gift
Greatest sacrifice of all

You’re my Hometown Hero, you see
Your name’s on the theater’s marquee
All the flags waved proud
As you made your final way
Through the streets of your hometown
You’re the Hometown Hero
My tears flow for you
My Hometown Hero, you see

Now you lead the parade
Your picture stands so tall
I remember when you were small
Marching so proudly then
With Scouts and baseball teams
Wish those days did never end

You’re my Hometown Hero, you see
Your name’s on the theater’s marquee
All the flags waved proud
As you made your final way
Through the streets of your hometown
You’re the Hometown Hero
My tears flow for you
My Hometown Hero, you see

From Heaven looking down
You can see my pride
Hiding my grief locked inside
And when will we meet again
Like a long lost friend
That seems like forever

You’re my Hometown Hero, you see
Your name’s on the theater’s marquee
All the flags waved proud
As you made your final way
Through the streets of your hometown

(You’re the Hometown Hero
My tears flow for you
My Hometown Hero, you see)
