Honky Tonk Heroes, 1973
Written by Billy Joe Shaver & Hillman Hall
O listen!
A sister song to Bobby Bare's "Detroit City," ten years on. Guy thought he outgrew his little town, so moves to California. Gonna be big! Gonna be a star! Or maybe not. Maybe in trouble with the law. No easy road to riches. He misses Omaha. "I'm leaving even if I have to crawl." The song goes down easy, that polished '70s country sound and a universal feeling.
