About the Artist
Lyrics
[Intro] Thank you very much [Verse 1] 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 And 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 [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-movin' 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, 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 [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-movin' dreams Sadly in search of and one step in back of themselves and their slow-movin' dreams
