NIY HEROES HAV E
ALWAYS BEEN COWBOYS

In The Style of V(illie Nelson
W'ritlen by Vaughan 85 Nelson
Copyright (c) 1984 CBS Music 85 Records
. . I grew up a dreamin'
of being a cowboy

and lovin'

the cowboy ways
Pursuin' the life

of my high-ridin' heroes

I burned up

my childhood (lays
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 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 bein' alone too long
You could die from 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 fade away
Old worn-out saddles
and old worn-out memories
but 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
