Heroes And Heroines Lyrics - Hometown Girl/state Of The Heart - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Heroes and heroines are scarcer than they've ever been 

So much more to lose than win 

the distance never greater 

Way back when you made history 

By flying planes across the sea 

Embarking on your odyssey 

You put away the danger 

Heaven bless the' one who flies 

A pioneer on frontier skies 

The world was dark and your only mark 

Was the light of the northern star 

I imagine what was in your eyes 

The seeds of rust and days gone by 

Your wings hang in a gallery sky 

I wonder how you're flying

Way out on the western plains 

The snow drifts high and the dust wind burns 

The chinooks blow their winds across the mountains 

A life that's never safe and dry 

Rodeos and riding high 

Ladies and their men get by 

On six-guns and white lightning 

Heaven bless them on the road 

Those drifters and their dreams of gold 

The world was wide and cowboy's soul 

Could span the whole horizon 

I imagine what was in your eyes 

The dust and the dirt under outlaw skies 

A piece of land and a stubborn mind 

Were the only things worth having 

Photos 

Now they say the moon is dust and ash 

California's made of cash 

We're waiting for those hills to crash 

Into the sparkling waters 

Rain and snow and sun and wind 

You roamed the earth and you spread your wings 

And long ago, my heroes' dreams 

Belonged to all God's creatures. 

Heaven bless the ones who sleep 

The ones who laugh and the ones who weep 

Heaven bless the ones who keep 

Their bearings strong and certain 

And Lord help the fool who said 

You'd better quit while you're ahead 

A dreamer born is a hero bred 

On earth and up in heaven 

Lord help the fool who said 

You'd better quit while you're ahead 

A dreamer born is a hero bred 

On earth and up in heaven
