Text: Europe. Hero.

It's not like I wouldn't dream if you had not shown the way
It's not like I wouldn't fight not knowing 'bout your life
It's not like I wouldn't stand right here with my friends

You threw us all a line
When our days slipped away
You gave us of your time

'Cause you were my hero, my Friday night
You wrote the soundtrack to my life
And gave me something to hold on to
When I was growing up you were the rock in my life

It's not like I live my days by every word you spoke
Like I'm up every night drinking with your ghost
It's not like I can't look back without movin' on

You threw us all a line
When our days slipped away
You gave us of your time

You were my hero, my Friday night
You wrote the soundtrack to my life
And gave us kids a chance to dream
Days when I had enough you were the rock in my life

You still throw me that line
As my days slip away
You give me of your time

You're still my hero, my Friday night
You wrote the soundtrack to my life
You give me something to hold on to
As I'm still growing up you are the rock in my life
