Yesterday's Hero

Few years ago
I was a bright and shining star on color television
I couldn't do no wrong, at home, I was Hollywood bound
I had my fortune in bling
I had a little everything
Now I done lost my voice
Even lost my love, oh Lord

Yesterday hero, one with the halo

I had a girl
They used to fall down 'round my knees, Lord, tryin' to please
I used to drink good liquor, rub elbows with the VIPs
I still got the taste
But I drank beer by the case
So all alone
Nobody call me on the telephone, Lord, woo-ho

Yesterday hero, one with the halo

Old funky guitar hanging on my wall
All the funky gold records, somewhere in the fog of all, ah-ha

Oh, I had a fame
But they don't even know my name
Don't know my name no more

Yesterday hero, the one singing solo

Oh, I had the keys
You can see my name in gold on Hollywood's big
I had everybody over town just watching me
But I lost my taste
To a new generation's taste
Nobody know my name
They say, "There goes old what's-his-name," oh Lord

Yesterday hero, one with the halo
I'm talking about yesterday hero, now, the one singing solo

If you remember any of my old songs
Won't you sing along with me?
If you remember any of my old songs
Come on, sing along with me
Mustang Sally
Cheepa De Keepa

Respect Yourself
Cadillac and Cinderella
Do the Breakdown, children
I had 'em all in line
If you remember any of my old songs

Won't you sing along, now?
Ah, ah, ah, ah, won't you sing along, y'all?
Ah, I just got to, won't you sing along with me?
Won't you sing along, y'all?
Ha, won't you sing along with me, now, ha?
Oh yeah
