I grew up a-dreamin'
Of being a cowboy
And lovin' the cowboy way.
Persuin' the lives
Of my high-riding heroes
Burned up my childhood days.
I learned all the rules of
A modern-day drifter:
Don't ya hold on to nothin' for to long.
Just take what you need
From the ladies and leave them
With the words of a sad country song.
My Heroes have always been cowboys,
And they still are it seems.
Sadly in search of
And one step in back of
Themselves and their slow moving dreams.
