I grew up a-dreamin' of bein' a cowboy
G D
Lovin' the cowboy ways
Pursuin' the life of my high-ridin' heroes
E E7 A7
I burned up my childhood days
D
I learned all the rules of the modern-day drifter
G D
Don't you hold onto nothin' too long
G D
Just take what you need from the ladies
G D A7 D
Then leave them the words of a sad country song
CHORUS:
G D
My heroes have always been cowboys
E E7 A7
And they still are, it seems
G D G
Sadly in search of, but one step in back of
D A7 D
Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams
Verse 2:
Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery
From bein' alone too long
You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare
Knowin' well your best days are gone
Pickin' up hookers instead of my pen
I let the words of my years fade away
Old worn-out saddles, old worn-out memories
With no one and no place to stay
(chorus)
