[Verse 1]
Well I don't know what I’ve got to do to get back to you, I'm sure
Will I have to wear a big white hat or be the fastest on the draw?
Every time I try to talk to you
You just, fill me full of lies
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll never be your hero, babe
Or at least not in your eyes
[Chorus]
I’ll never be your hero
I'll never be the one
Who rides up with the lady
Into the setting sun
[Verse 2]
I'm not the kind of guy who wants to spend his life
Just fighting
For all the things that are good or true
You could say I'm just not that excited
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess I'll never have what it takes
To be the number one
I'll never be the sheriff, babe
I'll never be the fastest gun
[Chorus]
I'll never be your hero
I’ll never be the one
Who rides up with a lady
Into the setting sun
[Verse 3]
I should have known from the movies, babe
That the hero always wins
I never really stood a chance
You’d already chosen him
He's good in everything he does
He’s got the looks, he's got the money too
It's not my idea of a hero babe
But I guess it is to you
[Chorus]
I'll never be your hero
I’ll never be the one
Who rides up with the lady
Into the setting sun
[Outro]
And now you've got your hero
He's got the brightest star
I'll never be your hero
But I'll wear the deepest scar
