Never Meet Your Heroes

He'd give you his last cold beeror a shirt right off his backHe could barely get on that John Deerebut he'd cut his neighbor's grassHe's the first one there on Sunday 3, 000 weekends straightBut even when he didn't have much moneyhe never just passed that offering plateAnd this crazy world we're living incould sure use a whole lot more like himAnd they say never meet yourheroes it'll only break your heartOnce you peek behind that curtainthey ain't who you think they areMight be some words of wisdom but it ain't true every timeWhoever said never meet your heroes ain't ever met mineThere ain't no statue in his honorand the world don't know his nameBut his wife can say he never raisedhis voice after 60 years and changeHis word was like a sunrise you could always count on itNever said he saved lives in World War IIbut his buddies all say he didThey say never meet your heroes'cause it'll only break your heartOnce you peek behind that curtainthey ain't who you hope they areMight be some words of wisdom but it ain't true every timeWhoever said never meet your heroes ain't ever met mineAin't ever met mineHe made hard times look easy and big problems seem so smallHell, I could have called him Supermanbut I just called him my grandpaAnd they say never meet your heroes'cause it'll only break your heartOnce you peek behind that curtainthey ain't who you hope they areThere might be some words of wisdombut they ain't true every timeWhoever said never meet your heroes ain't ever met mineNo, they ain't ever met mine
