My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys
recorded by Waylon Jennings  [3/4 time]
written by Sharon Vaughn
 
 C 
I grew up dreaming of being a cowboy
 F                   C 
Loving the cowboy ways
 
Pursuing the life of my high riding heroes
   D7                       G7 
I burned up my childhood days

   C 
I learned all the rules of the modern day drifter
           F                       C 
Don't you hold onto nothing too long
      F                             C 
Just take what you need from the ladies
      F                C            G7            C 
Then leave them the words of a sad country song

     F                         C 
My heroes have always been cowboys
 D7                      G7 
And they still are it seems
 F                     C                 F 
Sadly in search of  but one step in back of
     C                  G7            C 
Themselves and their slow moving dreams
 
 
Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery
      F                 C 
From being alone too long
     F                                          C 
You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare
         D7                        G7 
Knowing well your best days are gone
 
 C 
Picking up hookers instead of my pen
       F                            C 
I let the words of my years fade away
     F                      C 
Old worn out saddles old worn out
    F            C            G7            C 
Memories with no one and no place to stay
