Heroic Blues Songtext
von The Dave Graney Show

I′m standing in a bar
Singing my songs
There's six people hanging around
They got nowhere else to go

I′m a hero
It's what I do
No one buys my records
No one knows my old songs

Yeah, I played here before
There were so many people

I'm a hero
It′s what I do

Looked at from another direction
This could seem pretty sad
Tragic even

I′m a hero
It's what I do


I gotta pull something out of this moment
That woman at the back of the room
She′s traveled so far

I'm living out the other side of a dream
I′m coming down
I'm flattening out
I′m slowly making my way back to the big room

I'm a hero
It's what I do

Yeah, I′ve seen this place before
I′ve been around three times
There must be something I could do

Am I in color
Or is it black and white from now on?
Am I losing?
Am I winning?
How long have I been playing?
When did it become a game?

I'm a hero
It′s what I do


You know
You know they can't breathe this atmosphere
People off the street
Can′t live at this speed
I'm riding over this scene
I′m all over the room

I'm a hero
It's what I do

I don′t just lose
I got heroic blues

It′s a star vehicle
And I'm the writer
And I′m the director
And I'm the player
I′m editing
In camera

My life has a life of its own
My dreams have dreams of their own
And my blues have blues of their own

I got blues
Heroic blues
I got blues
Heroic blues
