Текст песни All My Heroes Have Been Cowboys - Chris LeDoux

I grew up a-dreaming of being 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 a modern day drifter
Don't you hold on to nothin' too long
Just take what you need from the ladies then leave them
And 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
Picking up ladies instead of my pen
I let the words of my youth fade away
Old wornout saddles and old wornout 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 and one step in back of themselves
And their slow movin' dreams
