Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The engine's hot and running
We'll take this nowhere town
And turn it into something
We're gonna lose control
And set the wheels in motion
Well, we're stoking our claims
Yeah, they'll remember our names
Going down in a blaze of glory
Going out in a flash of light
You know it goes with the territory
When you run the night
You won't to be a hometown hero
And nothing's standing in your way
Take it all the way from zero
Never fade away
Now you and I can make it happen
Show you what it's all about
We'll take the night
And turn it inside out yeah inside out
They say that eagles dare
While others only follow

And cross that line of fire
When the damage is done
You know, the legend lives on
Going down in a blaze of glory
Going out in a flash of light

The lyrics of Loverboy’s “Hometown Hero” center around the idea of leaving a small, insignificant town and making a name for oneself. The opening lines illustrate the determination of the singer and their team to do just that - “We’re gonna break away, the engine’s hot and running, we’ll take this nowhere town and turn it into something.” The chorus reinforces this idea of making a big impact - “Going down in a blaze of glory, You want to be a hometown hero, Take it all the way from zero, We’ll take the night and turn it inside out.” The song encourages and empowers people to go out, take risks, and chase their dreams, to create a life that they’re proud of.
The lyrics also allude to the struggle and potential risks involved in taking such a leap. The phrase “going down in a blaze of glory” suggests that the journey may be difficult, that there may be failures or even a tragic end, but the singer believes that the potential reward is worth the risk.
Overall, “Hometown Hero” is a motivational anthem that encourages listeners to take control of their lives and push themselves towards greatness, even if it means leaving comfort zones behind.
