Cash Johnny Heroes Lyrics

Heroes Lyrics

Written by (?) 

 (As performed by Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash) 

 

 (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 . . .
