Hero's Die Young

Still stealing scenes in faded blue jeans
 He stands alone a face apart
 A world away inside my heart and dreams
 He was a hero to me, a hero to me
 But heroes they bleed and heroes die
 Never cared about his sensation
 Living out the promise of "My Generation"
 He would never know, some kind of hero
 Like a shooting star leaves a fire trail
 Reckless driver on the highway to hell
 He's never looking back
 But now he's faded to black
 No regrets
 No tears in your eyes
 As he goes flashing by
 Heroes die young
 Heroes die young
 Heroes die young
 But they never fade away
 Didn't look like much never talked to loud
 Always took a stand and always stood there proud
 Where we would never go
 Some kind of hero
 He was no favorite son riding a dark horse
 There were no battles won
 He didn't change the course of history
 But he meant more to me
 No regrets
 No tears in your eyes
 As he goes flashing by
 Heroes die young
 Heroes die young
 Heroes die young
 But they never fade away
 Die young
 Heroes die young
 Heroes die young
 But they never fade away
 Die young
 Heroes die young
 Heroes die young
 But they never fade away
