Heroes
© Steve Hopkins, MAYDEWS Music, 1999

I remember Buddy
He was a West Texas flash
All too soon his luck ran out
He died in a fiery crash
He sang songs about love and hopes and dreams
Sang 'em his own way
Deep inside my heart
His memory will not fade away
Chorus:
That's why I'm here
He was a hero to me
That's why I'm here
His music set me free
What he did and what he was
Was what I wanted to be
He died some years before his time
But he lives in you and me
I remember John
He was a rebel from Liverpool
Made the whole world twist and shout
Made the fat cats look like fools
Sang songs about givin' peace a chance
How love is all you need
In the brotherhood of man
There is no room for hate or greed
Chorus
I remember Harry
He was a friend to you and me
As he drove his taxi he knew
There's a better place to be
World hunger was his enemy
Just like it's yours and mine
And I'd give most anything
To hear him one more time
Chorus
I remember Stevie Goodman
He was a loyal Cubs fan
Even though it seemed a pennant
Was not in the plan
He wrote the perfect country and western song
Best damned train tune I ever heard
He could paint the prettiest pictures
And all he used was words
Chorus (x2)
