Chris Ledoux Not For Heroes Lyrics

Not For Heroes Lyrics

There are songs about the heroes and the great things they have done



And the hell they went through to get this far



But this song is for the cowboy who never been a hero



And the hard times he goes through all the while



And all that he's got goin' is his pride



He's never been a hero and he probably never be one



But in his heart he knows he gave his all



My hat goes off to you my friend and to the champ you might have been



If Lady Luck had smiled on you at all







He gives it all he's got but it's never quite enough



Oh the Lord and him alone know how he's tried



But he'll try and try again although he'll never win



And all that he's got goin' is his pride



He's never been a hero...







The bones are just too tough and he doesn't have enough



Of what it takes to make it to the top



What makes him want to go well Lord I guess I know



He loves it too damn much to ever stop



He's never been a hero...







He bites the dust once more gets up to hear no score



Then he stumbles to the chutes to ease the pain



And underneath his breath he cusses to himself



I'll ride him if I get the chance again



He's never been a hero...
