My Heroes Have Always

 

 

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.

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.

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.
