In a curl and watching T.V. late
Seen a girl all pigtails and braids
And I thought, man -- That was you
She even kinda looked like you

Busting with hopes and dreams and such
Don’t imagine she needed much
Just to sing and laugh and play
Just needs her prince to come someday

On a good horse
Strong and wild and free
They could share the best and worst
And keep good company
They could ride for miles
Smile and rest beneath a tree
 
I’m guessing the girl was you
And hoping
The hero is me

See the boy in a record shop
Tumbling through the choices they got
He’s thinking, man –- I need something new
He just needs to find a girl like you

With a pure heart
Strong and wild and free
He could help her turn the Earth
Root their family
Offer a lifetime of gathering what she needs

I’m guessing the girl is you - And hoping
The hero is me

I’m hoping that girl is you
And maybe this is your dream too

I’m guessing that girl is you - And hoping
The hero is me

The hero is me
The hero is me
