I’ll Always Be Your Hero

I met you on a sidewalk in Jersey.
Shaking with the winter wind.
I asked you if you needed a place to stay.
You said “no” and headed for the bins.
I could tell you didn’t belong here.
A sweet little angel like you.
I told you “darling you’re coming with me”.
You collapsed into my arms and said “baby baby save me”.

I promised to hold, make you feel it.
Kiss you like I mean it.
Never ever wanna stop.

Make love in my Chevy truck.
Our love won’t need any luck.
Stronger than a buffalo.

Dancing in the pouring rain.
Take away your endless pain.
Tell you it’ll come true…
Me and you.

I took you home right that second.
To shower’n have a bite to eat.
I asked how things got so bad for you.
You looked bashful down at your feet.
You told bout how your ex beat you.
Put you on the floor once or twice.
I said “don’t you worry it’s behind you now”.
“Nobody will ever hurt you again while I’m still around”.

And I said I’ll hold you, make you feel it.
Kiss you like I mean it.
Never ever wanna stop.

Make love in my Chevy truck.
Our love won’t need any luck.
Stronger than a buffalo.

Dancing in the pouring rain.
Take away your endless pain.
Tell you it’ll come true…
Me and you.

Now we’re living in a flat in Nashville.
Two kids and one on the way.
Night after night I will hold you tight.
Keep you safe from the big bad world.
I told you I’ll always be your hero.
I’ll save you when the world gets tough.
You said “baby you’re the best thing in my life.
You’re my shelter, solitude and heartbeat all in one”.

And I said I’ll hold you, make you feel it.
Kiss you like I mean it.
Never ever wanna stop.

Make love in my Chevy truck.
Our love won’t need any luck.
Stronger than a buffalo.

Dancing in the pouring rain.
Take away your endless pain.
Tell you it’ll come true…
Me and you.
