All of my heroes keep dying
Lord, may they rest in peace
So here's to the songs that will always live on
From now until eternity

Well, as a kid, I would sing to "Islands In The Stream"
And all that I wanted was to dance with somebody
Had a grunge flannel phase in my "Teen Spirit" days
Georgia plates on my truck, while playing "California Love, " oh

All of my heroes are dying
Lord, may they rest in peace
So here's to the songs that will always live on
From now until eternity

Oh, the first chords Daddy showed me
Was to "Okie from Muskogee"
Then I started a band, knew I was born a rambling man
Took an American girl, and I made her my wife
I guess even the losers get lucky sometimes, oh

All of my heroes are dying
Lord, may they rest in peace
Oh, so here's to the songs that'll always live on
From now until eternity

I bet the barstools in Heaven are all filled up with legends
But they don't drink alone until it's dry on their own
When it's my time to go, all that I hope
Is old country road, take me home

It seems like the lessons from the ones up above
Is if we're all gonna make it, well, all you need is love
So let's take all the songs that they've left behind
And tonight, we're gonna party like it's 1999, oh

All of my heroes keep dying (My heroes)
Lord, may they rest in peace (Lord, may they rest in peace)
Oh, and here's to the songs that will always live on
From now until eternity

Here's to the songs that will always live on
From now until eternity
