[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G I grew up a-dreamin' of bein' a cowboy D And lovin' the cowboy ways E7 Pursuin' the life of my high-ridin' heroes A I burned up my childhood days D I learned of all the rules of the modern-day drifter G D Don't you hold on to nothin' too long G D G Just take what you need from the ladies, then leave them D A D With the words of a sad country song
[Chorus]
G D E7 My heroes have always been cowboys A And they still are, it seems G D G Sadly in search of, but one step in back of A D G Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams
[Verse 2]
D G Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery D From being alone too long D You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare E7 A D Knowin' well that your best days were gone D Pickin' up hookers instead of my pen G D I let the words of my years fade away G D G Old worn-out saddles, and old worn-out memories A D With no one and no place to stay
[Chorus]
G D E7 My heroes have always been cowboys A And they still are, it seems G D G Sadly in search of, but one step in back of A D G D Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams
[Outro]
G D G Sadly in search of, but one step in back of D A G D Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams
