Intro
Verse 1
I grew up dreaming of being a cowboy
And loving the cowboy ways
Pursuing the life of my high-ridin' heroes
I burned up my childhood days
I learned all the rules of a modern day drifter
Don't you hold on to nothing too long
Just take what you need from the ladies and leave them
With the words of a sad country song
Chorus
My heroes have always been cowboys
And they still are it seems
Sadly in search of and one step in back of
Themselves and their slow moving dreams
Verse 2
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 that your best days are gone
Picking up hookers instead of my pen
I let the words of my youth fade away
Old worn out saddles and old worn out memories
With no one and no place to stay
Chorus
My heroes have always been cowboys
And they still are it seems
Sadly in search of and one step in back of
Themselves and their slow moving dreams
Sadly in search of and one step in back of
Themselves and their slow moving dreams
