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
