Guy Clark - Heroes lyrics

He brought the war home with him Still got sand in his boots Hes wrestling with the demons in the cold, hard truth As some may write about him, he came back different Something in his eyes said hed seen to much Something in his legs said hed had enough [CHORUS:] Heroes, everybody needs heroes Even heroes need a little help Heroes cant always be heroes Whos gonna save the hero from himself? Got a picture from Bagdad of him and his buddies And his horsing around, getting ready One by one, he watched em die Just scared kids, and he dont know why Hes the only one to make it out alive [CHORUS] Ten thousand clicks away in his head He can smell the smoke, he could smell the dead Silver Star and a pistol in a drawer Morphine just aint working no more [CHORUS]
