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 'til the end
One is your heroes, the others 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 thru thick and thru 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 thru thick and thru thin 
And that's how it goes with heroes and friends
That's how it goes with heroes and friends
