I've been a long time gone
C G
And I ain't never gonna be the same
D
My heroes have always been cowboys
G
And they still are, it seems
C G
Sadly in search of, and one step in back of themselves
D G
And they're too old to be in their dreams
C G
My heroes have always been cowboys
D G
And they still are, it seems
C G
Sadly in search of, and one step in back of themselves
D G
And they're too old to be in their dreams
C G
Cowboys like us, sure do get lonely
D G
But it's a long, long way home
C G
And the nights can be so cold and so lonely
D G
But my heroes have always been cowboys
My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys
