I Can't Be Your Hero Today lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

It's never been the same

Since you returned from dreaming

With your nursery rhyme excuses

Your picture postcards gleaming

Telling everyone who looks your way

'Bout people and their sinning

While you left field verse is falling

In proportion to your winning

And I can't be your hero today

I'm through with the simple games you play

It just may take some time for me to even up the score

But I can't be your soldier home from war

And there you sit shouting

That there's still hope for us

While nature holds the handcuffs

On a Capricorn and Taurus

There's nothing you can do or say

To get me to your camp

Go fill up all your savings books

And buy yourself a lamp

And I can't be your hero today

Your wholesale price is much to high to pay

A bargain basement atmosphere is no way to sell love

And I can't be your Superman above

No, I can't be your hero today

That is all I really want to say

Go find a leading man who wants to play

I can't be your hero today
