Heroes

Son you make me feel so proud
 I pop the buttons 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...
