Childhood Hero

Childhood Hero - Bobby Bare

She smiled and said if you are who I think

You are I'd really like to meet you

I laughed and said if you are what I think

You are I'd like to meet you too

She said you've taught me lots of things

But I'll bet there's some things that I could teach

You

And though you don't know me

I sure know you

C'ause you are my childhood hero she said

I got all your records I know all your songs

And I got your picture tacked over my bed

And you know I once wrote you a letter she

Said

And I don't believe that a night that was spent

By a girl with her childhood hero could ever be

Wrong

A thousand songs a hundred poems and a half

A fifth of chivas regal

While my picture on the wall looked down and winked

At me as if the bastard knew

And he listened as she whispered hold me close so

I can dream about this later

When you've forgotten me I'll remember you

C'ause you are my childhood hero she said

I got all your records I know all your songs

And I got your picture tacked over my bed

And you know I once wrote you a letter she

Said

And I don't believe that a night that was spent

By a girl with her childhood hero could ever be

Wrong
