We get to break out of prison Make love to our best friend's wife Have a beer for breakfast in Boston Drink rum in Jamaica that night We get to tell all our secrets In a code no one understands We get to shoot all the bad guys But never get blood on our hands We're heroes, we're schemers, We're drunks and we're dreamers We're lovers and sometimes we're fighters We're students, we're teachers We're the devil, we're preachers We're true love but mostly one nighters We're the songwriters Half the world thinks we're crazy The other half wants to be us And they're jealous because we get to hang out In the back of some big stars tour bus We're old boots and tee shirts and blue jeans We're cables and strings and E Chords We only dress up in November When they hand out some writers awards We're heroes, we're schemers, We're drunks and we're dreamers We're lovers and sometimes we're fighters We're the truth, we're the lies We're stupid, we're wise We're true love but mostly one nighters We're the songwriters We ride bridges, we cross 'em and burn 'em Teach lessons but don't bother to learn 'em Our mamas don't know what we're doing Why we stay out all night long I told mine I was a drug dealer She said thank god you ain't writin' songs We're heroes, we're schemers, We're drunks and we're dreamers We're lovers and sometimes we're fighters We're the truth, we're the lies We're stupid, we're wise We're true love but mostly one nighters We're the songwriters We're the songwriters
