Lyrics My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys - Live at The Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, CA - April 30, 2023 - Lyle Lovett
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 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 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 slow-movin', dreams
Sadly, in search of, but one step, in back of
Themselves, and slow-movin', dreams
Thank you
