Hero

This for the man who saved my life
Saving me from the edge of a knife

When a man tried to rob me one night
Then found his own self losing the fight

When a hero came out of the shadow
With a right hand he laid the robber low

He told me to go and I did what he said
If not for him then I would be dead

I turned back and asked "What is your name?"
So I could remember his dangerous game

But all he said was, "just call me the painted hunter"
