Lyrics I'll Be a Hero (When I Strike) (March 1970) - Merle Haggard
All
because
I
walk
a
different
street
And
not
helloed
by
some
I
meet
That
don't
mean
that
what
I
do
ain't
right
Those
that
said
that
I
was
wrong
Now,
say
thay
knew
it
all
along
'Cause
I'll
be
a
hero
when
I
strike
I'll
be
a
hero
when
I
strike
Come
up
tight
and
out
of
sight
They'll
say
I'm
dynamite
And
they'd
like
to
be
there
when
I
lite
'Cause
I'll
be
a
hero
when
I
strike
I
love
God
and
the
flag
And
I
ain't
the
kind
to
stand
and
brag
And
I'm
the
kind
to
stand
right
up
and
fight
Don't
need
a
uniform
to
wear
To
make
the
people
stop
and
stare
'Cause,
Hoss,
I'll
be
a
hero
when
I
strike
I'll
be
a
hero
when
I
strike
Come
up
tight
and
out
of
sight
They'll
say
I'm
dynamite
And
they'd
like
to
be
there
when
I
lite
'Cause
I'll
be
a
hero
when
I
strike
Won't
shake
hands
until
I'm
sore
Wear
medals
hangin'
to
the
floor
They'll
throw
rocks
at
Franklin
and
his
kind
They'll
say,
boy,
ain't
that
cowboy
hot
There
ain't
nothin'
he
ain't
got
But
I'm
gonna
be
a
hero
when
I
strike
I'll
be
a
hero
when
I
strike
Come
up
tight
and
out
of
sight
They'll
say
I'm
dynamite
And
they'd
like
to
be
there
when
I
lite
'Cause
I'll
be
a
hero
when
I
strike
