My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys (Live)

My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys (Live) - Willie Nelson (威利·納爾遜)/Chris Stapleton

Written by：Sharon M. Vaughn

I grew up a dreamin' of bein' a cowboy

And lovin' the cowboy ways

Pursuin' the life of my high ridin' heroes

I burned up my childhood days

I learned all the rules of a modern day drifter

Don't you hold on to nothin' too long

Take what you need from the ladies

Then leave with them

With the words of a sad country song

My heroes always been cowboys

And they still are it seems

Sadly in search of but one step in back of

Themselves and their slow movin' dreams

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 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

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

Sadly in search of and one step in back of

Themselves and their slow movin' dreams
