Rick, following on from Joe's song prompt, on his latest album,'Look Up', on the Watermelon label, one of my musical heroes, Bob Neuwirth, has fine song called 'Heroes':

Here's to all heroes and half empty bottles
The hard-to-wake sleepers of incomplete dreams
Here's happy trails and back in the saddle
And here's to your health, whatever that means
Here's to old soldiers relieving their battles
So hard to recall, they all happen so fast
One harsh word still leads to another
The way the first drink still leads to the last

In the wee wee hours when the mind gets to thinkin'
That a body should get up and give it a go one more time
The bigger the lie it's hearing the more likely it's believing
These days livin' a lie ain't no kinda crime, and they tell me that love is still blind

Here's to the sailors so homesick and lost
Minus their raft on a raging tide
Jealously guarding that one last secret
In a desperate attempt just to survive

So here's to the heroes and half empty bottles
The hard-to-wake keepers of incomplete dreams
Here's to their heartbreak and the heartaches that make 'em
Crack as their lives fall apart at the seams

In the wee wee hours of their morning
The bottles that they're holding say the body
Should get up and give it a go one more time
And the bigger the lie they're sellin', the more likely someone is buyin'
For these days takin' a life ain't no hangin' crime
They tell me that justice is blind
And they tell me that love is still blind
