Heroes Die Young
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
