Heroes and Heroines (Live)

歌詞

Heroes and heroines are scarcer than they've ever been So much more to lose than win The distance never greater Way back when you made history By flying planes across the sea Embarking on your odyssey You put away the danger Heaven bless the one who flies A pioneer on frontier skies The world was dark And your only mark was the light of the Northern star I imagine what was in your eyes, the seeds of rust and days gone by Your wings hang in a gallery sky I wonder how you're flying Way out on the western plains The snow drifts high and the dust wind burns The Chinooks blow their winds across the mountains A life that's never safe and dry Rodeos and riding high Ladies and their men get by On six-guns and white lightning Heaven bless them on the road Those drifters and their dreams of gold The world was wide and the cowboy's soul could span the whole horizon I imagine what was in your eye The dust and the dirt under outlaw skies A piece of land and a stubborn mind Were the only things worth having Now they say the moon is dust and ash And California's made of cash We're waiting for those hills to crash Into the sparkling waters Rain and snow and sun and wind You roamed the earth and you spread your wings And long ago, my heroes dreams Belonged to all God's creatures Heaven bless the ones who sleep The ones who laugh and the ones who weep Heaven bless the ones who keep Their bearings strong and certain And Lord help the fool who said You'd better quit while you're ahead A dreamer born is a hero bred on earth and up in Heaven And Lord help the fool who said you'd better quit while you're ahead A dreamer born is a hero bred on earth and up in Heaven
