Homemade Hero

There's a light from the house

Shining brightly

A robin bird sings

A joyful song

A flag blows in the yard

Oh so slightly

You would never know

That something's wrong

There's chaos in the garden

And the kitchen

Everywhere you plant

Your feet upon

The things that daddy's done

To you are sickening

I don't know how

But I'll get him gone

Grab your keys and grab your coat

We're Mississippi bound

I can't stand to see the way

That he throws you around

It's time to be a hero

It's time to do what's right

So I've made my decision ma

We're leaving town tonight

There's no need to hide now

I'll deal with him somehow

Nobody around has

Seemed to notice

The scars that's formed

From every major blow

Sometimes people just don't

Care to focus

On anything but themselves

You know

But I have been there

Behind every closed door

Watching over

Like a circling crow

Knew that one day

I would even the score

And put him where he belongs

Down below

Grab your keys and grab your coat

Let's get on out the door

I don't have to tell you

I can't take this anymore

Lord knows you need a hero

So I guess it's up to me

It's been a long time coming

But it's time to set you free

There's no need to hide now

I'll deal with him somehow

Stand back 50 feet

Cause I'm not lying

I have had enough

Of all of this pain

We don't have anytime

Left for crying

For there's only two of us

That remain

Grab your keys and grab your coat

We've got no time to lose

I can't stand to see you wear

Another man-made bruise

He ain't ever gonna love you

And he sure as hell won't bend

So I've made my decision

It was time for this to end

There's no need to hide now

I dealt with him somehow

There's no need to hide now

I dealt with him somehow
