HAVE ALWAYS
cowsovs
I grew up a-dreamin'
of hein' a cowboy

and lovin' the
cowboy ways
Pursuin' the life

of my high-ridin'
heroes
I learned all the rules

of a modern-day
drifter
Just take what you
need from the ladies
then leave them
from the words
of a sad country song
My heroes have

always been cowboys
And they still are

it seems
Sadly in search of
one step in my life

for themselves and
their slow-movin'
dreams
Cowboys are special
with their own brand

of misery
from living alone
toolong
You could die
from the cold

in the arms
of a nightmare
Knowin' well

that your best days
are gone
Pickin' up hookers
instead of my pen

I let the words
of my youth
slip away
Old wom-out saddles

and old worn-out
memories
With no-one

and no place to stay
My heroes have

always been cowboys
And they still are

it seems
Sadly in search of
one step in my heart

for themselves and
their slow-movin'
dreams
Sadly in search of
the one step in my heart
for themselves
and their slow-movin'
dreams
