He drove a
'47 Buick Special

Them dusty roads were hell
on the shine
'bout once a week
he'd be down by the creek

and I'd help him
wash it sometime
He had a pinstriped suit
and a gold watch

And a gold chain that hung
from his chest
And he drank a little
and he gambled a lot
He was a wild one I guess

on but everybody needs a
hero.
Savannah Slim was mine
When you're ten years old
down in south Georgia
heroes are hard to find

Lord how he loved
country music

He played an old
Gibson guitar
At a roadhouse one night
he was called on to fight

Somebody pushed him
too far
So he served a little time
in prison

But he served four long years
in the war
It was in the Pacific
where he got his tattoo
Two hearts in blue
on his arm. on but
everybody needs a hero
Lord. Savannah Slim was mine
When you're ten years old
down in south Georgia
heroes are hard to find
When you're ten years old

down in south Georgia
heroes are hard to find
My mama says I turned out
When you're ten years old
down in south Georgia
heroes are hard to find
I didn't know
till a few days ago
why he sent me his
gold watch and chain. on but
everybody needs a hero
Savannah Slim was mine
When you're ten years old
down in south Georgia
heroes are hard to find
When you're ten years old
down in south Georgia
heroes are hard to find

Savannah Slim was mine
