My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys

Waylon Jennings

Key of , with no capo to play along with the youtube video. In 3/4 time I grew up dreaming of being a cowboy Loving the cowboy ways Pursuing the life of my high riding heroes I burned up my childhood days I learned all the rules of the modern day drifter Don't you hold onto nothing too long Just take what you need from the ladies Then leave them 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 moving 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 nightmare Knowing well your best days are gone Picking 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 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 moving dreams---- End
