D
I Dgrew up dreaming of being a cowboy
And GLoving the cowboy Dways
DPursuing the life of my high riding heroes
I E7burned up my childhood A7days
I Dlearned all the rules of the modern day drifter
GDon't you hold onto nothing too Dlong
Just Gtake what you need from the Dladies then Gleave them
With the Dwords of a A7sad country Dsong
My he-Groes have always been Dcowboys
E7And they still are it A7seems
GSadly in search of Dbut one step in Gback of
Them-Dselves and their A7slow moving Ddreams
DCowboys are special with their own brand of misery
From Gbeing alone too Dlong
You Gcould die from the cold in the arms of a Dnightmare
Knowing E7well your best days are A7gone
DPicking up hookers instead of my pen
I let Gthe words of my years fade a-Dway
Old Gworn out saddles old Dworn out mem-Gories
With Dno one and A7no place to Dstay
My he-Groes have always been Dcowboys
E7And they still are it A7seems
GSadly in search of Dbut one step in Gback of
Them-Dselves and their A7slow moving Ddreams
GSadly in search of Dbut one step in Gback of
Them-Dselves and their A7slow moving Gdreams D
