Storybook Hero Songtext
von Eric Bibb

If I could, I would buy you a ring for your finger
Made out of diamonds an′ gold
But I will give to you this guarantee
I'm gon′ make you some money you can't fold
Make you some money you can't fold

Smooth-talkin′ playboys may try an′ get your number
But I wanna show ya how good a man can be
I long to deliver your every heart's desire
Darlin′, you're my destiny
Darlin′, you're my destiny


One day, I′ll take you on an ocean liner
Wine an' dine you in France
But right now, I'm satisfied with po′ boys an′ beer
Long as I can watch you dance
Right here at Tippatina's, I love to watch you dance

I wish that I could buy you a fine new home
Drive you ′round in a fancy car
But when you're tired, babe, I′ll carry you up the road on my back
No distance would be too far (never too far)
Darlin', no distance would be too far

Because you make me feel like a storybook hero
With Daniel′s courage and Samson's might
Like a storybook hero, that's how I feel
When you hold me tight
I′m your hero (ooh), like Robin Hood
Hercules (ooh), John Henry
Like Tarzan, baby, I′m your man
