My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys

   by Waylon Jennings  [3/4 time]

�

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

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

�

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
