Lyrics

I grew up dreaming Of being a cowboy And loving, the cowboy ways Pursuing the life, of my high riding heroes I burned up, my childhood days I learned, all the rules Of a modern day, drifter Don't you hold onto nothing, too long 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, and one step, in back of Themselves, and their slow-movin', dreams Cowboys, are special With their own brand, of misery You could die, from the cold In the arms, of a nightmare Knowing well, that your best days, are gone Picking up hookers, instead of my pen I let the words, of my youth, 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, 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
