Lyrics Johnny Cash – Heroes
Text:
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
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 . . .
