Hoods Turned Heroes

Well, I woke up this morning

Hungover from the night before

I picked up the paper

And my jaw done hit the floor

There were kids trapped in a fire

And a couple of heroes came to their aid

I had to look twice at the picture when I saw that

It was Ponyboy and Johnny Cade

I thought them boys were as good as dead

But as it turns out the headline read

Hoods turned heroes

These Greasers are the talk of the town

They ran straight into the fire

While that old church was burning down

Just some low-down dirty Greasers

Accused of murder in the first degree

Imagine this: they save some kids

That's how they got to be

Yeah, that’s how they got to be the front page story

Yeah

Hoods turned heroes

[SODAPOP]

When a Greaser's in the paper

You can bet a dollar that it ain't no good

[SODAPOP & GREASERS, spoken]

Someone got robbed

Someone got mugged

Someone had a run-in with a Greaser hood

But now the tide is changing

I can see you people turning one by one

Are we headed for the age of the Greasers?

The reconciliation's already begun

Hoods turned heroes

[TWO-BIT]

They caught us all by surprise

When they rose to the occasion, put it on the line

And saved all of them children's lives

[ENSEMBLE]

Hoods turned heroes

[SODAPOP]

Is Tulsa gonna finally see?

Got some heroes in the makin'

[SODAPOP & TWO-BIT]

And the Greaser reputation

[SODAPOP, TWO-BIT, & ENSEMBLE]

Ain't the burden that it used to be

Look at us now

We're getting our due

It's feeling even sweeter after what we've been through

Hoods turned heroes

This town will never be the same

It's time to celebrate the Greasers

Take pride in the Greaser name

Owe it all to Pony & Johnny

They've still got a ways to go

But y’all stay tuned

They’ll get well soon

There's gonna be more to this Greaser story

Hoods turned heroes
