Childhood Hero

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."

"'Cause 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, 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."

"'Cause 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..."
