My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys |
| [00:05.81] |
From Essential Willie Nelson |
| [00:06.81] |
|
| [00:07.03] |
I grew up a-dreamin' of bein' a cowboy, |
| [00:14.30] |
and Lovin' the cowboy ways. |
| [00:20.40] |
Pursuin' the life of my high-ridin' heroes, |
| [00:27.03] |
I burned up my childhood days. |
| [00:33.31] |
I learned of all the rules of the modern-day drifter, |
| [00:39.38] |
Don't you hold on to nothin' too long. |
| [00:45.56] |
Just take what you need from the ladies, then leave them, |
| [00:52.29] |
With the words of a sad country song. |
| [00:57.95] |
My heroes have always been cowboys. |
| [01:05.77] |
And they still are, it seems. |
| [01:10.88] |
Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of, |
| [01:17.03] |
Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams. |
| [01:24.95] |
|
| [01:27.12] |
Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery, |
| [01:33.66] |
From being alone too long. |
| [01:39.33] |
You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare, |
| [01:45.46] |
Knowin' well that your best days are gone. |
| [01:52.00] |
Pickin' up hookers instead of my pen, |
| [01:57.17] |
I let the words of my years fade away. |
| [02:03.93] |
Old worn-out saddles, and 'old worn-out memories, |
| [02:09.65] |
With no one and no place to stay. |
| [02:14.12] |
|
| [02:16.20] |
My heroes have always been cowboys. |
| [02:23.19] |
And they still are, it seems. |
| [02:27.87] |
Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of, |
| [02:33.37] |
Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams. |
| [02:37.40] |
|
| [02:39.77] |
Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of, |
| [02:45.87] |
Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams. |
