Heroes and Heroines - Mary Chapin Carpenter[00:00:01]
Heroes and heroines[00:00:16]
Are scarcer than they've ever been[00:00:20]
So much more to lose than win [00:00:24]
The distance never greater[00:00:28]
Way back when you made history[00:00:32]
By flying planes across the sea[00:00:36]
Embarking on your odyssey [00:00:40]
You put away the danger[00:00:44]
Heaven bless the one[00:00:50]
Who flies a pioneer on frontier skies[00:00:52]
The world was dark and your only mark[00:00:58]
Was the light of the northern star[00:01:01]
I imagine what was in your eyes [00:01:06]
The seeds of rust and days gone by[00:01:09]
Your wings hang in a gallery sky [00:01:14]
I wonder how you're flying[00:01:18]
Way out on the western plains[00:01:28]
The snow drifts high[00:01:32]
And the dust wind burns[00:01:34]
The Chinooks blow[00:01:36]
Their winds across the mountains[00:01:37]
A life that's never safe and dry [00:01:44]
Rodeos and riding high[00:01:48]
Ladies and their men get[00:01:52]
By on six-guns and white lightning[00:01:54]
Heaven bless them on the road [00:02:02]
Those drifters and their dreams of gold[00:02:06]
The world was wide and the cowboy's[00:02:10]
Soul could span the whole horizon[00:02:13]
I imagine what was in your eyes [00:02:18]
The dust and the dirt under outlaw skies[00:02:21]
A piece of land and a stubborn mind[00:02:26]
Were the only things worth having[00:02:29]
Now they say the moon is dust and ash[00:03:09]
And California's made of cash[00:03:14]
We're waiting for those hills to crash[00:03:18]
Into the sparkling waters[00:03:22]
Rain and snow and sun and wind[00:03:26]
You roamed the earth[00:03:30]
And you spread your wings[00:03:31]
And long ago my heroes dreams[00:03:34]
Belonged to all God's creatures[00:03:38]
Heaven bless the ones who sleep[00:03:44]
The ones who laugh and the ones who weep[00:03:47]
Heaven bless the ones[00:03:52]
Who keep their bearings strong and certain[00:03:54]
And Lord help the fool who said[00:04:00]
You'd better quit while you're ahead[00:04:04]
A dreamer born is a hero bred[00:04:07]
On earth and up in Heaven[00:04:11]
And Lord help the fool who said[00:04:16]
You'd better quit while you're ahead[00:04:20]
A dreamer born is a hero bred[00:04:23]
On earth and up in Heaven[00:04:27]
