《My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys(Live)》歌词

[00:00:01] Nelson Willie

[00:00:04] My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys

[00:00:05] From Essential Willie Nelson

[00:00:07] I grew up a-dreamin' of bein' a cowboy,

[00:00:14] and Lovin' the cowboy ways.

[00:00:20] Pursuin' the life of my high-ridin' heroes,

[00:00:27] I burned up my childhood days.

[00:00:33] I learned of all the rules of the modern-day drifter,

[00:00:39] Don't you hold on to nothin' too long.

[00:00:45] Just take what you need from the ladies, then leave them,

[00:00:52] With the words of a sad country song.

[00:00:57] My heroes have always been cowboys.

[00:01:05] And they still are, it seems.

[00:01:10] Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of,

[00:01:17] Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams.

[00:01:27] Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery,

[00:01:33] From being alone too long.

[00:01:39] You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare,

[00:01:45] Knowin' well that your best days are gone.

[00:01:52] Pickin' up hookers instead of my pen,

[00:01:57] I let the words of my years fade away.

[00:02:03] Old worn-out saddles, and 'old worn-out memories,

[00:02:09] With no one and no place to stay.

[00:02:16] My heroes have always been cowboys.

[00:02:23] And they still are, it seems.

[00:02:27] Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of,

[00:02:33] Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams.

[00:02:39] Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of,

[00:02:45] Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams.
