Текст (слова) песни: Nanci Griffith - Song For Remembered Heroes

 
Well, it`s that old time story 
of a new face to glory 
Someone wanted my soul for their pride 
What about the system 
of fools arranged for missing 
Well, I can`t lie, they all pass with time 
 
Why do my people come and go? 
I keep on leaving them behind 
and Lord, I miss them so 
I`ve watched my heroes change from 
silver into gold 
As the time goes, only memories grow 
 
It`s your smiles that I remember 
the dreams of the young and tender 
Coming real, but now it seems 
That highways are for foolish travelers 
always bonded, always shackled 
By the prayer that they`re remembered 
in our dreams 
 
Why do my people come and go? 
I keep on leaving them behind 
Lord, I miss them so 
I`ve watched my heroes change from 
silver into gold 
As the time goes, only memories grow 
 
I am just a barroom child 
tried so damn hard to learn the style 
Of your drunken tears, the way they smile 
I guess I`ll never learn the rules 
I still play the simple fool 
Who loves without the chains of lies 
 
Why do my people come and go? 
I keep on leaving them behind 
and Lord, I miss them so 
I`ve watched my heroes change from 
silver into gold 
As the time goes, only memories grow 
As the time goes, only memories grow
