33. “My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys” was written by Sharon Vaughn.
This song that was made famous by Willie Nelson, transition from childhood dreams, “I grew up a-dreamin’ of bein’ a cowboy”, to the realization that many of our dreams fall short, “Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery / From being alone too long / You could die from the cold, in the arms of a nightmare / Knowin’ well that your best days are gone.”
