Dancehall Heroes

DANCEHALL HEROES
written by Rob Harding, BMI

One more blacktop highway, one more honkytonk
Compadres on that winding road to pen just one more song
Take the vow of poverty this fiddle I the wed
Roll another hundred miles and recall the lives they’ve led

Dancehall heroes, drifting through my mind
As we walk in their footsteps across the sands of time
Foggy faded memories of old lost loves left far behind
Recall those dancehall heroes that go drifting through my mind

Old timbres hold the lonesome songs of passing troubadours
The echoes of Your Cheating Heart, the shuffling on the floor
Listen close you’ll hear Bob call that ol’ San Antone Rose
Walk the floor with Ernie Tubb and Lefty’s Way Love Goes

Dancehall heroes, drifting through my mind
As we walk in their footsteps across the sands of time
Foggy faded memories of old lost loves left far behind
Recall those dancehall heroes that go drifting through my mind

Sitting on the roadside broke down and out of fuel
We’ll write another weary blues about some ol’ barstool
It’s all been wrote but stay the path of those who went before
Honor all those dancehall heroes beyond that swinging door

Dancehall heroes, drifting through my mind
As we walk in their footsteps across the sands of time
Foggy faded memories of old lost loves left far behind
Recall those dancehall heroes that go drifting through my mind
