_ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [D] I grew up a dreamin'
_ Bein' a [A] cowboy
_ _ [G] _ And lovin' the cowboy [D] ways _
_ _ _ _ Pursuin' the life
Of my high-ridin' heroes
I [E] _ burned up my [A] childhood days
I _ [D] _ learned all the rules
Of a modern-day drifter
_ _ [G] Don't you hold on to nothin' [D] too long _
_ _ _ [G] Just take what you need
[D] From the ladies [G] that leave them
[D] With the words of a [A] sad country _ song
_ _ [G] My heroes have always [D] been cowboys
_ _ _ [E] _ _
And they still are, [A] it seems
_ _ _ [G] _ Sadly in search of
[D] And one step in [G] by far _ [D] Themselves
[A] And their slow-movin' [D] _ dreams
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Cowboys are special
With _ their own brand of misery
[G] From bein' alone too long _
_ _ Through the dive and the cold
_ In the arms of a nightmare [E] Knowin' well _
That your best [A] days are gone _
_ _ [D] _ Pickin' up hookers
_ Instead of my pen
I let [G] the words of my youth [D] fade away _ _
_ [G] Old worn-out saddles
[D] And old worn [G]-out memories
But [D] no one [A] and no place [D] to stay
_ My _
[G] _ heroes have always been [D] cowboys
And _ _
[E] _ they still are, [A] it seems
_ _ _ [G]
Sadly in search of
[D] And one [G] step in by far [D] _ Themselves
And their [A] slow-movin' _ dreams
_ _ [G] Sadly in search of
[D] And one step [G] in by far [D] _ Themselves
And their slow-movin' [G] _ dreams
