Song : I Can’t Be Your Hero Today
 
By: jimmy buffett
1970
It’s never been the same since you returned from
dreamin’
With your nursery rhyme excuses your picture
postcards gleamin’
Tellin’ everyone who looks your way ’bout people
and their sinnin’
While you left field verse is fallin’ in
proportion to your winnin’

And I can’t be your hero today
I’m through with the simple games you play
It just may take some time for me to even up the
score
But I can’t be your soldier home from war

And there you sit shouting that there’s still
hope for us
While nature holds the handcuffs on a capricorn
and taurus
There’s nothing you can do or say to get me to
your camp
Go fill up all your savings books and buy
yourself a lamp

And I can’t be your hero today
Your wholesale price is much to high to pay
A bargain basement atmosphere is no way to sell
love
And I can’t be your superman above

No I can’t be your hero today
That is all I really want to say
Go find a leading man who wants to play
And I can’t be your hero today
