Laurel Lewis - Homemade Hero Lyrics

There's a light from the house shining brightly
A robin bird sings a joyful song
A flag blows in the yard oh so slightly
You would never know that something's wrong

There's chaos in the garden and the kitchen
Everywhere you plant your feet upon
The things that daddy's done to mom is sickening
I don't know how but I'll get him gone

Grab the keys and grab your coat we're Mississippi bound
I can't stand to see the way that he throws you around
It's time to be a hero it's time to do what's right
I've made my decision ma we're leaving town tonight
There's no need to hide now
I'll deal with him somehow

Nobody around has seemed to notice
The scars that's formed from every major blow
Sometimes people just don't care to focus
On anything but themselves you know

But I have been there behind every closed door
Watching over like a circling crow
Knew that one day I would even the score
And put him where he belongs down below

Grab the keys and grab your coat let's get on out the door
I don't have to tell you I can't take this anymore
Lord knows you need a hero so I guess it's up to me
It's been a long time coming but it's time to set you free
There's no need to hide now
I'll deal with him somehow

Stand back 50 feet cause I'm not lying
I have had enough of all of this pain
We don't have anytime left for crying
For there's only two of us that remain

Grab your keys and grab your coat we've got no time to lose
I can't stand to see you wear another man-made bruise
He ain't ever gonna love you and he sure as hell won't bend
I've made my decision ma it's time for this to end"
