My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys歌词

My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys -Waylon Jennings
I grew up a 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 on to nothing 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 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 an 'old worn out memories
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
