Johnny Cash - Heroes

[Johnny]

Heroes, larger than life

Up on the screen, every night

On the late show, oh what a great show

[Waylon]

Heroes, under the gun

Fighting for justice, for everyone

And we follow, where ever they go

[Waylon]

Heroes, standing up tall

Taking their chances, risking it all

So you know there'll always be heroes

[Johnny]

Heroes, so good to know

So hard to find, sad when they go

Like the shadows, on the high road

[Johnny]

Heroes, ever on track

Never give up, never look back

Never lay low, oh never grow old

[Johnny]

Heroes, right from the start

They fall in love, straight from the heart

So you know they'll always be heroes

[Chorus: Johnny]

Ride on safe from all danger

Where have you been for so long

I've been waiting for another star

To rise in my night again

Give me a reason we all must carry on

Like all the heroes have done

[Johnny]

Heroes, facing the fight

Calling for courage, trying to do right

When the dust blows, and the light goes

[Johnny]

Heroes, tried and true

One for the other, ready to do

It tomorrow, like it was the last show

[Johnny]

Heroes, put to the test

Keeping a promise, doing their best

So you know, there'll always be heroes

[Repeat chorus]

Ride on, ride on . . .
