Lyrics My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys (Live at Budokan, Tokyo, Japan - Feb. 23, 1984) - Willie Nelson



Thank you very much
Well, I grew up a-dreamin' of bein' a cowboy
And livin' the cowboy ways
Pursuin' the life of my hard-ridin' heroes
I burned up my childhood days
I knew all the rules of a modern-day drifter
Don't you hold on to nothin' too long
Just take what you need from the ladies and 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 and 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 nightmare
Knowin' well that your best days are gone
Pickin' up hookers instead of my pen
I let the words of my youth slip away
Old worn-out saddles and old worn-out memories
And no one and no place to stay
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-movin' dreams
Sadly in search of and one step in back of themselves
And their slow-movin' dreams
