Lyrics:

You are my hero, you are my heroine(
I followed your dusty trail back to where this all began
(Back to the time before I knew I was a fool(
To the night I saw my star like a flashing jewel
(And the way I chose was not my own invention(
But it was ignorance more than pretension

You are my hero, you are my heroine
(I followed you way downtown to steal your fountain pen
(But there were myths and there were facts which I mistook
(And everyone who gets drunk will not write a good book(
But the words I spoke, the stories I was making(
Were for the love of you not for the love of faking

You are my hero, you are my heroine
(Would you dig a grave I might be buried in
(I lean my back against the stove and drink a beer(
The song you're singing inside my head just like you were here(
And your hat's pulled down so far it hides your eyes(
Just like a dust storm hit the Oklahoma skies

You are my hero, you are my heroine
