"Hero In Black"

By Tony Sciuto-John Stamos)

I can remember, as a young boy

Something distracting me, on the TV

He had a Wild Sound, He was so Downtown,

And when he moved he shook the World

 

Her name was Sara, and she would listen,

To my Guitar, and all my Wild Dreams

She was Cherubic, down to her Bare feet

I was her King and she was my Girl

 

I Dyed my Hair Black

She was 17

I was her Bad Ass

She was my High School Queen

She took it to the edge

In my Cadillac

Drivin’ to Memphis

With her ‘Hero in Black’

 

My little Sara

She was my Good Luck Charm

I was her Teddy Bear

When I was in her arms

She Love Me Tender

And I surrender

Our Burnin’ love triggered Fire alarms

I Dyed my Hair Black

She was 18

She went from High School

To Maternity

She took the Secret

In my Cadillac

Drivin’ to Memphis

With her ‘Hero in Black’

Bridge:

Under the Moon & Under the Stars

Under a Tennessee sky

I played the blues on Beale St.

She played the Memphis Wife

 

I Dyed my Hair Black

She was 25

I had my up’s n down’s

She kept my dream alive

I played my 3 sets

In every Bar n Dive

All over Memphis

 

I Dye my Hair Black

Now she’s 35

Been almost 40 years

Since the King has died

We never looked back

We had no regrets

Drivin’ to Memphis

 

Our ‘little secret’

He dyes his Hair Black

He wants my Cadillac

His name is Aaron

He plays my Guitar

He’s only 17, but when he plays, HE SHAKES THE WORLD
