[Verse 1]

Willie's riding shotgun, Wayon's sleepin' in the back

Billy Graham is preaching about Jesus Christ with the Man in Black

Lennon's talking politics, Dylan's mumblin' on his phone

Ol' Kristofferson says turn it up Merle that's a Tom Petty song

Yeah

[Verse 2]

No, Elvis ain't dead, he just got tired of the velvet and the press

He's hangin' out with Emmylou and Gram Parsons on a boat out in Key West

And speaking of Memphis, the best blues band in town

Plays every Tuesday night, Stevie Ray and Jimmy tune it up and burn it down

[Chorus]

Just like my heroes I'm as free as the wind

Singing those old songs just like they did back then

Some are here and some are gone

Old habits die hard and legends live on and on

[Verse 3]

Somebody said they saw Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain

At a little dive thirty miles outside the east side of LA

Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper

Are all hangin' out at Night Hawks drinking whiskey with Eddie Hopper

[Chorus]

Just like my heroes I'm as free as the wind

Singing those old songs just like they did back then

Some are here and some are gone

Old habits die hard and legends live on and on and on

Legends live on

[Bridge]

I had dream one night, one day I was at this South Texas cafe

Playing 42 with Townes Van Zandt and Ernest Hemmingway

We had Hank on the jukebox, burning that pipe tobacco slow

My ol' man chimed in and said "Kids these days need to dig deeper to find their soul"

Can I get an amen?

Dig deeper to find your soul

Better pick up that shovel and get to work

[Chorus]

Just like my heroes I'm as free as the wind

Singing those old songs just like they did back then

Some are here, some are gone

Old habits die hard and legends live on and on

Just like my heroes I'm as free as the wind

Singing those old songs just like they did back then

Some are here and some are gone

Old habits die hard and legends live on and on and on

[Outro]

Legends live on

Legends live on

Legends live on and on and on

Legends live on

Legends live on

Legends live on and on and on

And on and on and on
