Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I ain't lived 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 till the end
One is your heroes and the other's your friends
[Verse 2]
Your heroes will help you find good in yourself
Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else
They'll both stand beside you through thick and through thin
And that's how it goes with heroes and friends
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Your heroes will help you find good in yourself
Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else
They'll both stand beside you through thick and through thin
And that's how it goes with heroes and friends
And that's how it goes with heroes and friends
Written by: Don Schlitz, Randy Travis
