  D                                   
I grew up dreaming of being a cowboy  
    G                 D     
And Loving the cowboy ways  
D                                           
Pursuing the life of my high riding heroes  
  E7                     A7    
I burned up my childhood days  
   
  D                                                
I learned all the rules of the modern day drifter  
G                               D     
Don't you hold onto nothing too long  
     G                           D           G           
Just take what you need from the ladies then leave them  
         D          A7          D     
With the words of a sad country song  
   
      G                     D        
My he-roes have always been cowboys  
E7                    A7     
And they still are it seems  
G                  D               G        
Sadly in search of but one step in back of  
     D                A7          D       
Them-selves and their slow moving dreams  
   
D                                                   
Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery  
     G               D     
From being alone too long  
    G                                        D          
You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare  
        E7                      A7    
Knowing well your best days are gone  
   
D                                     
Picking up hookers instead of my pen  
      G                            D    
I let the words of my years fade a-way  
    G                    D            G      
Old worn out saddles old worn out mem-ories  
     D          A7          D     
With no one and no place to stay  
   
      G                     D        
My he-roes have always been cowboys  
E7                    A7     
And they still are it seems  
G                  D               G        
Sadly in search of but one step in back of  
     D                A7          D       
Them-selves and their slow moving dreams  
   
G                  D               G        
Sadly in search of but one step in back of  
     D                A7          G      D 
Them-selves and their slow moving dreams
