Randy Bachman - Vanishing Heroes lyrics

I used to save my pennies for admission And wait all week for Saturday matinees Just to see the good guys beat the bad guys And win the ladies' hearts along the way No one ever rides into the sunset anymore Whatever happened to the truth? Where have they gone ... the heroes Where have they gone ... the heroes Where have they gone ... the heroes From when I was young ... they vanished I used to dream that I could ride a spaceship A time machine to take me far away The future was a scary situation There were no trees or children at play Where are the guys that ride the white horses They'd save themselves, then they'd save the day A young man's dream can make a difference But first he has to learn to read and write "cause to be the best you gotta be better than the rest You just don't get successful overnight Spread your wings, fly like an eagle in the blue Live your dreams, make them come true
