Текст песни Bruce Springsteen - Local Hero

"Local Hero"
Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Album: Lucky Town

I was driving through my hometown
I was just kinda killin' time

When I seen a face staring out of black velvet painting
From the window of the five and dime

I couldn't quite recall the name
But the pose looked familiar to me

So I asked  the salesgirl, "Who was that man
Between the doberman and Bruce Lee?"
She said, "Just a local hero"
"Local hero," she said with a smile

"Yeah a local hero he used to live here for a while."

I met a stranger dressed in black

At the train station
He said, "Son your soul can be saved"

There's beautiful women nights of low livin'
And some dangerous money to be made

There's a big  town 'cross the whiskey line
And if we turn the right cards up

They make us boss the devil pays off
And them folks that are real hard up
They get their local hero
Yeah, somebody with  the right style
They get their local hero

Somebody with just the right smile

Well I learned my job I learned it well
Fit myself with religion and a story to tell
First they made me the king then they made me pope

Well, then they brought the rope

I woke to a gypsy girl sayin', "Drink this"
Well my hands had lost all sensation

These days I'm feeling all right 
'Cept I can't tell my courge from my desperation

From the tainted chalice
Wel I drunk some heady wine

Tonight I'm layin' here

But there's something in my ear
Sayin' there's a little town just beneath the floodline
Needs a local hero
Yeah, somebody with the right style
Lookin' for a local hero
Yeah, someone with the right smile
Lookin'  for a local hero, yeah somebody woth the right smile
