Short Change Hero

(album: The House That Dirt Built - 2009)

I can't see where you coming from
But I know just what you running from:
And what matters ain't the "who's baddest" but
The ones who stop you falling from your ladder, baby

And you feel like you feeling now
And doing things just to please your crowd,
When I love you like the way I love you,
And I suffer, but I ain't gonna cut you 'cause

This ain't no place for no hero.
This ain't no place for no better man.
This ain't no place for no hero
To call "home."

This ain't no place for no hero.
This ain't no place for no better man.
This ain't no place for no hero
To call "home."

Every time I close my eyes, I think,
I think about you inside,
And your mother, giving up on asking why
Why you lie, and you cheat, and you try to make
A fool outta she...

I can't see where you coming from,
But I know just what you're running from.
And what matters ain't the "who's baddest," but the
Ones who stop you falling from your ladder, 'cause

This ain't no place for no hero.
This ain't no place for no better man.
This ain't no place for no hero
To call "home."
