[Verse 1] I light the flame when the night goes cold, Do what I can, play the hand I’m told. Got no crown, no holy sign, Just a fist full of truth and a jagged line. [Pre-Chorus - harmonies] They want a savior dressed in gold, I’m just a fighter with a heart too bold. Don’t need your cheers or your stage light glare, I’m still standin’—just don’t care. [Chorus] I’ll lead the way, I’ll take the hit, Do the dirty work, never quit. Raise my glass to the fight I know, But I’m no hero — (No Hero) No halo shine, no movie scene, Just leather, scars, and gasoline. I’ll take the fall, I’ll take the blow, But I’m no hero, baby — no! (NO) [Verse 2] I ain’t no saint, I ain’t no star, Just ridin’ hard in this broke-down car. Got a heart that bleeds, but it still burns bright, For every lost soul in the dead of night. [Pre-Chorus - harmonies] They say I shine when I hit the stage, But I’m just spillin’ out my rage. Ain’t no savin’ grace in me, Just a wild heart, runnin’ free. [Chorus] I’ll lead the way, I’ll take the hit, Do the dirty work, never quit. Raise my glass to the fight I know, But I’m no hero — (No Hero) No halo shine, no movie scene, Just whiskey breath and faded dreams. I’ll take the fall, I’ll take the blow, But I’m no hero, baby — no! (NO) [Bridge – Talk/Sing with swagger] No white horse, no saving grace, Just a crooked smile and a worn-out face. If you want a savior, look above — I just fight for the ones I love! [Final Chorus] I’ll lead the way, I’ll take the hit, Do the dirty work, never quit. Raise my glass to the fight I know, But I’m no hero — (No Hero) No halo shine, no movie scene, Just fire, sweat, and gasoline. I’ll take the fall, I’ll steal the show, But I’m no hero, baby — no! (NO)
