The Trouble with Heroes
(Writers: Erica Ellis and Jason Metzner)
[Verse 1]
Woman, two kids at the checkout line
Couple dollars short then the man behind
Threw a few bills by the till, she cried
He just smiled
Said happy to help
Old man, living out on the street
Wondering in this cold how he’s gonna sleep
Till a girl from a nearby church brought a coat
And some hope
Sat and talked on the curb
[Pre-chorus]
Those who stick out their necks
Ain’t always the ones you’d expect
[Chorus]
That's the trouble with heroes
They don’t look like white knights
Or pull up in a limo
And have a couple million likes
You can’t tell in a glance
That they’re gonna take a stand
So you might miss their quiet hearts of gold
That’s the trouble with heroes
[Verse 2]
Young girl scrolling through Instagram
Looking up to girls who are filter-thin
Young men taking bends NASCAR fast
If they crash
At least they’re just like them
You and me loading up on Powerball
Thinking them millionaires have it all
But the ones we should hold up high don’t have flash
And some cash
But they walk the walk
[Chorus]
That's the trouble with heroes
They don’t look like white knights
Or pull up in a limo
And have a couple million likes
You can’t tell in a glance
That they’re gonna take a stand
So you might miss their quiet hearts of gold
That’s the trouble with heroes
(Bridge)
They’re all around
Even if they don’t stand out
[Chorus]
That's the trouble with heroes
They don’t look like white knights
Or pull up in a limo
And have a couple million likes
You can’t tell in a glance
That they’re gonna take a stand
So you might miss their quiet hearts of gold
That’s the trouble with heroes
That’s the trouble with heroes
