    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
