Willie Nelson - My Heros Have Always Been Cowboys Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I grew up a-dreamin' of bein' a cowboy,
  • And Lovin' the cowboy ways.
  • Pursuin' the life of my high-ridin' heroes,
  • I burned up my childhood days.
  • I learned of all the rules of the modern-day drifter,
  • Don't you hold on to nothin' too long.
  • Just take what you need from the ladies, then leave them,
  • With the words of a sad country song.
  • My heroes have always been cowboys.
  • And they still are, it seems.
  • Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of,
  • Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams.
  • Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery,
  • From being alone too long.
  • You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightman,
  • Knowin' well that 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, and 'old worn-out memories,
  • With no one and no place to stay.
  • My heroes have always been cowboys.
  • And they still are, it seems.
  • Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of,
  • Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams.
  • Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of,
  • Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams.
