Sturgill Simpson - Hero Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Decided to write a song for my hero
Considering he's done so much for me
He's the one that pulled me up when I fell down so low
He's the one that led me through the darkness when I could not see
Never met a man more gentle or any humbler
Never once heard him raise his voice or saw him mad
But I watched him break his back on the coal and lumber
To give her everything she never had

[Chorus]
'Cause when it all comes down to zero
There's nothing more this life could ever give
And I know I'll never find another hero
Not another one like him

[Verse 2]
He was born on a summer day in some dark holler
Way back in the hills of Perry County
But grew up poor and he never saw a dollar
But a dollar ain't no good in a coal camp anyway

[Chorus]
'Cause when it all comes down to zero
There's nothing more this life could ever give
And I know I'll never find another hero
Not another one like him

[Bridge]
And if I'm half the man he was when I die
I don't know if I could ask for too much more
Taught me you only need one hand to count your real friends in this life
You find true love you better take both arms, hold on 'til you're sore

[Chorus]
'Cause when it all comes down to zero
There's nothing more this life could ever give
And I know I'll never find another hero
Not another one like him

[Outro]
Decided to write a song for my hero
Considering he's done so much for me
