Lyrics Chris LeDoux – My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys

I grew up a dreaming of being a cowboy and lovin’ the cowboy ways
Pursuin’ the life of my high ridin’ heroes I burned up my childhood days
I learned all the rules of a modern day drifter
Don’t you hold on to nothin’ too long

Cowboys are special with their own brand of mis’ry from being alone too long
You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare
Knowin’ well that your best days’re gone
Picking up hookers instead of my pen I let the words of my youth fade away
Old wornout saddles and old wornout mem’ries with no one and no place to stay
My heroes have always been cowboys…
