Sorry but when I see "home home on the range" I titter. Is it suppossed to be a humourous song because it comes across as a bit tongue in cheek.The chorus feels a bit like a lymric which adds to that comic effect.

Home home on the range was intended to be a little sardonic.J

Good lyric. Title sounds original although I'm not a big follower of this genre. The opening lines are strong. The structure is good. My only nit' would be the word hero. I recommend making the story about one individual as oppose to several. Make this individual live up to the word hero. This lyric will be better for it. Good start.....................................peace!
