Hard Luck Hero
Teenage rebel, nothing to lose
Back against the wall, mad and confused
Every conversation seems to end in a fight
Older generations say
They should know what's wrong from right
But all he ever wanted was freedom to say
Leave me alone, let me live my way
Hard luck hero, can't you see
Gotta run, run, run if you wanna be free
Hard luck hero, you and me
Gotta run, run, run, like a river runs free
For you and me
Cool sunglasses and a fast machine
Black leather jacket, old blue jeans
Never liked to fight, but he knew he could
Going through life, hustled and misunderstood
But all he ever wanted was someone to show
A little bit of love, but he never know
Hard luck hero, can't you see
Well we got no cause, but you wanna be free
Hard luck hero, you and me
Gotta run, run, run, like a river runs free
For you and me
For you and me
Driving through the hills, running fast and free
Racing to the edge high above the sea
Couldn't slow down, had to pay the price
Never being bound to living someone else's life
No matter what happened, no matter what they say
He was a rebel 'til his dying day
Hard luck hero, can't you see
Well we got no cause, but you wanna be free
Hard luck hero, you and me
Gotta run, run, run, like a river runs free
Hard luck hero, can't you see
Well we got no cause, but you wanna be free
Hard luck hero, you and me
Gotta run, run, run, like a river runs free
For you and me
Yeah, for you and me
