(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 . . .
