I ain't live forever but I've lived enough And I've learned to be gentle and I've learned to be tough I've found only two things that last to the end One is your heroes and the other your friends Your heroes will help you find good in yourself Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else They'll both stand beside you through thick and through thin And that's how it goes with heroes and friends I grew up with cowboys I watched on tv My friends and I sometimes pretended to be Years have gone by but now and again My heart rides the range with my heroes and friends Your heroes will help you find good in yourself Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else They'll both stand beside you through thick and through thin And that's how it goes with heroes and friends Your heroes will help you find good in yourself Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else They'll both stand beside you through thick and through thin And that's how it goes with heroes and friends That's how it goes with heroes and friends
