I am a hero
A unsung hero of the blues
I am a hero
I’m a unsung hero of the blues
If they gave awards for sorrow
Oh I’d win quite a few

My landlord takes my money, but he says I’ll get it back
He calls it a deposit, I say “We’ll see about that”
I get this funny feelin’ as I hold my baby tight
I know she said she loved me, but something isn’t right

I am a hero
A unsung hero of the blues
I am a hero
I’m a unsung hero of the blues
If they gave awards for sorrow
Oh I’d win quite a few

My boss is on my back, he won’t leave me alone
I rеally think I’m gonna crack if I hear one more phonе
The raise he said he’d give me, he’s already taking back
And everytime I think you want me, I’m on the wrong track

I am a hero
A unsung hero of the blues
I am a hero
I’m a unsung hero of the blues
If they gave awards for sorrow
I’d win quite a few
I’m going for a check up, he says I smoke too much
I tell him I got problems and the smoking’s just a crutch
He puts me on a diet, it would’nt feed a mouse
And the bill for the trip could pay the mortgage on my house

I am a hero
A unsung hero of the blues
I am a hero
A unsung hero of the blues
If they gave awards for sorrow
Oh I’d win quite a few

I am a hero
The unsung hero of the blues
I am a hero
I’m a unsung hero of the blues
If they gave awards for sorrow
Oh I’d win quite a few

I am a hero
I’m a unsung hero of the blues
I am a hero
I’m a unsung hero of the blues
If they gave awards for sorrow
Oh I’d win quite a few
