I`ll Be A Hero (When I Strike) — текст песни (Merle Haggard)

All because I walk a different street
And not helloed by some I meet
That don`t mean that what I do ain`t right
Those that said that I was wrong
Now say thay knew it all along
`Cause I`ll be a hero when I strike

I`ll be a hero when I strike
Come up tight and out of sight
They`ll say I`m dynamite
And they`d like to be there when I lite
`Cause I`ll be a hero when I strike

I love God and the flag
And I ain`t the kind to stand and brag
And I`m the kind to stand right up and fight
Don`t need a uniform to wear
To make the people stop and stare
`Cause, Hoss, I`ll be a hero when I strike

I`ll be a hero when I strike
Come up tight and out of sight
They`ll say I`m dynamite
And they`d like to be there when I lite
`Cause I`ll be a hero when I strike

Won`t shake hands until I`m sore
Wear medals hangin` to the floor
They`ll throw rocks at Franklin and his kind
They`ll say, boy, ain`t that cowboy hot
There ain`t nothin` he ain`t got
But I`m gonna be a hero when I strike

I`ll be a hero when I strike
Come up tight and out of sight
They`ll say I`m dynamite
And they`d like to be there when I lite
`Cause I`ll be a hero when I strike
