Heroes

All of my heroes keep dying
Lord, may they rest in peace
So here's to the songs
That will always live on
From now and till eternity

Well as a kid I would see
Two eyes in the street
And all that I wanted
Was to dance with somebody
Had a grunch flannel face
And my team spirit days
Georgia plates on my truck
But playing California love, oh

All of my heroes are dying
Lord, may they rest in peace
So here's to the songs
That will always live on
From now and till eternity

Oh, the first course daddy showed me
Was the old keep from Muskogee
Then I started a band
Knew I was born a rambling man
Took an American girl
And I made her my wife
I guess even the losers
Get lucky sometimes, oh

All of my heroes are dying
Lord, may they rest in peace
Oh, so here's to the songs
That will always live on
From now and till eternity
Oh, so here's to the songs
That'll always live on
From now until eternity

I bet the bar stools in heaven
Are all filled up with legends
But they don't drink alone
And tears dry on their own
When it's my time to go
All that I hold
This old country road
Take me home

It seems like the lessons
From the ones up above
As if we're all gonna make it
But all you need is love
So let's take all the songs
That they've left behind
And tonight we're gonna party
Like it's 1999, oh

All of my heroes keep dying
Lord, may they rest in peace
Oh, so here's to the songs
That will always live on
From now and till eternity
Oh, so here's to the songs
That'll always live on
From now until eternity

Here's to the songs
That'll always live on
From now until eternity
