Автор мелодии: Willie Nelson
My Heroes Have always been cowboys
3 4 4 -4 4 3
I grew up a-dreamin'
3 5 5 -5 5 4
Of being a cowboy
3 4 4 -4 4 3 3
And lovin' the cowboy way.
4 4 4 -4 5
Persuin' the lives
4 4 -6 6 -5 5 4
Of my high-riding heroes
-4 -4 -4 5 -4 -4
Burned up my childhood days.
3 4 4 -4 4 3
I learned all the rules of
4 6 6 -6 6 5
A modern-day drifter:
3 3 4 4 -4 4 4 3 3 3
Don't ya hold on to nothin' for to long.
3 4 4 -4 5
Just take what you need
4 -4 -6 6 -5 5 4
From the ladies and leave them
4 4 5 3 3 -4 5 -4 4
With the words of a sad country song.
3 4 4 4 -4 4 -4 5 4
My Heroes have always been cowboys,
4 4 4 -4 4 3
And they still are it seems.
4 4 -4 5 4
Sadly in search of
-4 -6 6 -5 5 4
And one step in back of
4 5 3 3 -4 5 -4 4
Themselves and their slow moving dreams.
Cowboys are special,
With their own brand of mis'ry
From being alone for too long.
Lyin' in the cold
In the arms of a nightmare
Knowing well that your best days are done.
Pickin' up hookers
Instead of my pen
I let the words of my youth slip away.
And old broke down saddles
And old worn out mem'ries
With no one, and no place to stay.
