| Heros and heroines are scarcer than they’ve ever been
|
| So much more to lose than win the distance never greater
|
| Way back when you made history by flying planes across the sea
|
| Embarking on your odyssey
|
| You put away the danger
|
| Heaven bless the one who flys
|
| A pioneer on frontier skies
|
| The world was dark and your only mark
|
| Was the light of the northern star
|
| I imagine what was in your eyes
|
| The seeds of rust and days gone by Your wings hang in a gallery sky I wonder how you’re flying
|
| Way out on the western plains
|
| The snow drifts high and the dust wind burns
|
| The chinooks blow their winds
|
| Across the mountains
|
| A life that’s never safe and dry rodeos and riding high
|
| Ladies and their men get by on six guns and white lightening.
|
| Heaven bless them on the road those drifters and their dreams of gold
|
| The world was wide and a cowboy’s song could span the whole horizon
|
| I imagine what was in your eyes
|
| The dust and the dirt under out law skies
|
| A piece of land and a stubborn mind were the only things worth having
|
| Now they say the moon is dust and ash and California’s made of cash
|
| We’re waiting for those hills to crash into sparkling waters
|
| Rain and snow and sun and wind
|
| You roamed the earth and you spread your wings
|
| Long ago my hero’s dreams belonged to all God’s creatures
|
| Heaven bless the ones who sleep
|
| The ones who laugh and the ones who weep
|
| Heaven bless the one who keep their bearings strong and certain
|
| And Lord help the fool who said
|
| You’d better quit while you’re ahead
|
| A dreamer born is a hero bred on earth and up in heaven
|
| And Lord help the fool who said
|
| You’d better quit while you’re ahead
|
| A dreamer born is a hero bred on earth and up in heaven |
