Heroes & Villains

I've been in this town so long that back in the city
I've been taken for lost and gone
And unknown for a long, long time

Fell in love years ago
With an innocent girl
From the Spanish and Indian home
Home of the heroes and villains

Once at night the cotillion squared the fight
And she was right in the rain
Of the bullets that eventually brought her down
But she's still dancing in the night
Unafraid of what a dude'll do in a town full of heroes and villains

Stand or fall, I know there
Shall be peace in the valley
And it's all an affair
Of my life with the heroes and villains

My children were raised
You know they suddenly rise
They started slow long ago
Head to-toe, healthy, wealthy and wise

At three score and five
I'm very much alive
I still got the jive to survive with the heroes and villains

But she's still dancing in the night
Unafraid of what a dude'll do in a town full of heroes and villains
