Heroes
Johnny Cash & Waylon Jennings Lyrics

Heroes, larger than life
Heroes are great figures that transcend beyond life itself

Up on the screen, every night
We see these figures in movies and TV shows regularly

On the late show, oh what a great show
Their stories are captivating and entertaining to watch even on late-night shows

Heroes, under the gun
These heroes are always in high-pressure situations

Fighting for justice, for everyone
They fight for the greater good and defend the rights of all individuals

And we follow, where ever they go
People look up to them and admire/respect their bravery and integrity

Heroes, standing up tall
These heroes are strong, courageous and stand up for what they believe is right

Taking their chances, risking it all
They take risks and put their own lives on the line for their cause

So you know there'll always be heroes
Heroes will always exist as we continue to face challenges in life

Heroes, so good to know
It's comforting to know that there are people out there who are truly good and who do good for others

So hard to find, sad when they go
True heroes are rare and it's sad when we lose them

Like the shadows, on the high road
They are elusive like shadows and walk the path that most people cannot

Heroes, ever on track
They are always focused on their mission and never lose sight of it

Never give up, never look back
They are committed to their cause and will never back down or lose motivation

Never lay low, oh never grow old
Heroes never retire and their impact lasts for generations

Heroes, right from the start
Heroes are born with innate qualities of heroism and virtue

They fall in love, straight from the heart
Their love and loyalty comes from a genuine place

So you know they'll always be heroes
Their legacy and inspiration will endure forever

Ride on safe from all danger
This line shows appreciation for the risks that heroes take and the dangers they face

Where have you been for so long
The absence of heroes is felt when the world needs them most

I've been waiting for another star
The world longs for another hero to rise up

To rise in my night again
This line shows hope that another hero will emerge and bring light to the world

Give me a reason we all must carry on
Heroes give us hope and inspiration to carry on, even in tough times

Heroes, facing the fight
Heroes never shy away from a fight or a challenge

Calling for courage, trying to do right
They are advocates of courage and always seek to do what is right

When the dust blows, and the light goes
Heroes continue to shine even in the darkest and most chaotic of times

Heroes, tried and true
Heroes have been tested time and time again, and they have always remained true to their cause

One for the other, ready to do
Heroes are unified and come together to support each other

It tomorrow, like it was the last show
Heroes live in the present and always approach their mission with urgency and passion

Heroes, put to the test
Heroes are constantly tested and scrutinized

Keeping a promise, doing their best
Heroes remain committed to their promises and give it their all

So you know, there'll always be heroes
This line is a reassuring reminder that heroes will always exist and have our backs

Ride on, ride on . . .
This is a closing line that is meant to inspire and call us to action
