angry johnny and the killbillies - funny thing about heroes lyrics

[intro]
last time i saw danny, he was having trouble breathing
bullet in his belly, and a couple fingers gone
thought about him dying like a dog as i was leaving
he’s the one who always said “take the money and run”

[bridge]
perfect plan is perfect, but until something goes wrong
like a cowboy in a liquor store playing hero for a day
funny thing about heroes, they don’t last very long
see, danny, you’re a goner, man
i’m sorry, i can’t stay

[verse 1]
seventeen months later, i’m drinking here in tulsa
hear a voice behind me say “won’t move and it’s goodbyе”
says “jack, i cannot tell you how good it is to see ya”
“remembеr me? you left me in that liquor store to die.”

[verse 2]
bartender stands frozen like a deer caught in the headlights
i ask him for a couple shots for me and my old friend
he pours a couple bourbons
his own hands, they are a+trembling
i turn around real slow, and i say “danny, how you been?”
[verse 3]
he grins and takes the bourbon, says “you know i’m gonna k!ll you”
i’ll drink my shot and say “what the h+ll, it’s only fair,”
i tell him that i’m sorry i left him for the buzzards
a pistol shot rings out
i see a cowboy standing there

[verse 4]
danny’s on the floor, bleeding heavy from his belly
last thing that cowboy hears is my singing its song
bartender ain’t move, and he says “man, i ain’t no hero”
i tell him “funny thing about heroes+ they don’t last very long”

[bridge]
last time i saw danny, he was dying there in tulsa
money from the register got me over the state line
last thing i told danny was “man, it was good to see you”
“when you’re feeling better, you should look me up sometime”

[outro]
why don’t you look me up sometime?
when you’re feeling better, why don’t you look me up sometime?
when you’re feeling better, why don’t you look me up sometime?
