I grew up dreamin' of bein' a cowboy, lovin' a cowboy
Soon to laugh, I'm a hero, burned up my childhood day
Learned all the rules, modern day drifter, don't you hold on, nothing to do
Just take what you need, your lovers, and leave them for the words of an old country song
Heroes always been cowboys, still I sing
Sadly
In search of one step back of themselves, the slow-movin' dream
Cowboys are special, your own brand of misery
Been alone too long
Died from the cold
The arms of a night man
Knowin' well their best days are gone
Pickin' up one night stands
Instead of my parents, let the words of my youth fade away
Old worn-out saddles
Old worn-out memories
No one, no place to stay
Heroes always been cowboys, still I sing
Sadly
In search of one step back of themselves, the slow-movin' dream


Cowboys always been cowboys, still I sing
Sadly
In search of one step back of themselves, the slow-movin' dream
Keep sleepin'
Thank you.
