Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Where is our hero tonight?

Bars are all booming and he's nowhere in sight

Wherever he is Lord, we hope he's alright

Oh, where is our hero tonight?

[Verse 2]

He used to be king of the bars

He's opened and closed them from Waco to Mars

Now he sings on the streets and he sleeps in his car

But he used to be king of the bars

[Verse 3]

Where is our hero tonight?

He left here a-sailing, he was high as a kite

Feeling kinda sorry, and looking for a fight

Where is our hero tonight?

[Verse 4]

Where is our hero today?

Can we just tag along, we'll stay out of his way

Does he still write the sad songs and can he still play?

Where is our hero today?

[Verse 5]

Where is our hero tonight?

The bars are all booming and he's nowhere in sight

Wherever he is Lord, we hope he's alright

Where is our hero tonight?

[Verse 6]

Wherever he is Lord, we hope he's alright

But where is our hero tonight?
