Willie Nelson - Heroes lyrics

Son you make me feel so proud I pop the bu*tons of my shirt I know I said I'd take you to the lake today But I'm going to have to break those plans and it really hurts. Every time I go fishin' it'd always start me wishin' That I could be a child again Take my 50 cents and go down to the local picture show To watch my heroes rope and ride. Most times they'd win but when they'd lose It always made me cry Ain't nothing quite as sad As watching your heroes die One by one as they fall Soon there'll be no heroes at all. Well, I guess the fish just ain't bitin' Just as well it don't feel like fightin' All in all it just ain't that great a fishin' day That old newspaper headline Kind of wrapped around this old heart of mine Another big one got away. And I can't count the times he's made me laugh But this time he's made me cry There ain't nothing quite as sad As watching your heroes die One by one as they fall Soon there'll be no heroes at all...
