[Verse 1]
Heroes and heroines are scarcer than they've ever been
So much more to lose than win
The distance never greater
Way back when you made history
By flying planes across the sea
Embarking on your odyssey
You put away the danger
[Chorus]
Heaven bless the one who flies
A pioneer on frontier skies
The world was dark
And your only mark was the light of the Northern star
I imagine what was in your eyes, the seeds of rust and days gone by
Your wings hang in a gallery sky
I wonder how you're flying
[Verse 2]
Way out on the western plains
The snow drifts high and the dust wind burns
The Chinooks blow their winds across the mountains
A life that's never safe and dry
Rodeos and riding high
Ladies and their men get by
On six-guns and white lightning
Heroes and heroines are scarcer than they've ever been
So much more to lose than win
The distance never greater
Way back when you made history
By flying planes across the sea
Embarking on your odyssey
You put away the danger
[Chorus]
Heaven bless the one who flies
A pioneer on frontier skies
The world was dark
And your only mark was the light of the Northern star
I imagine what was in your eyes, the seeds of rust and days gone by
Your wings hang in a gallery sky
I wonder how you're flying
[Verse 2]
Way out on the western plains
The snow drifts high and the dust wind burns
The Chinooks blow their winds across the mountains
A life that's never safe and dry
Rodeos and riding high
Ladies and their men get by
On six-guns and white lightning
