I got wheels in my head
Take me places that are left unsaid
I got a spare in my heart
Goes when I break down, fall apart
It's been a long road home
From my last farewell
I'm the hero, back from hell
There was a big parade just for me
My old high school band
Marching down Main Street
Everybody waving, old girlfriends
They were all wondering
What kind of shape I'm in
They might think that they know me well
I'm the hero, just back from hell
I'm the hero
I'm the hero
What I've seen, what I've done
When the smoke cleared from a long black gun
Cling like shadows to my life
Play with my kids now, sleep with my wife
I couldn't stop myself
Until the last man fell
I'm the hero, I'm back from hell
I'm the hero
I'm the hero
This little town where I live
I don't know how long it can hide my sin
Everybody's talking about who's right
They got no idea just what it's like
They all ask but I can't tell
I'm the hero, back from hell
I'm the hero
Oh, I'm the hero
Say I'm the hero
I am the hero
I couldn't stop myself
Until the last man fell
