    MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN COWBOYS
    written by Sharon Vaughn
    performed by Waylon Jennings

    I grew up a-dreamin' of bein' a cowboy
    Lovin' the cowboy ways
    Pursuin' the life of my high-ridin' heroes
    I burned up my childhood days
    learned all the rules of the modern-day drifter
    Don't you hold onto nothin' too long
    Just take what you need from the ladies
    Then leave them the words of a sad country song

    CHORUS:
    My heroes have always been cowboys And they still are, it seems
    Sadly in search of, but one step in back of
    Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams

    Verse 2:
    Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery
    From bein' alone too long
    You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare
    Knowin' well your best days are gone
    Pickin' up hookers instead of my pen
    I let the words of my years fade away
    Old worn-out saddles, old worn-out memories
    With no one and no place to stay

    <center>********************* IF I COULD ONLY FLY ********************

    written and performed by Waylon Jennings.


    This morning as i watched a bird
    Just spread its wings and fly
    It was then a thought came over me
    And i wondered why can't i ?
    Oh why,oh why can't i ?

    Verse 2:
    If i could only fly,you see
    A lot of problems would be gone
    When you think of just how much
    I'd save on shoes alone
    If i could only fly

    Verse 3:
    I would never tear my clothes
    Climbing in and out of trees
    If i could only fly,i'd never crawl
    Or wear holes in my knees

    Verse 4:
    How i'd love to spread my wings
    And streak across the sky
    I'd be off to see the world
    If i could only fly


    But i'd always come right back</center>

    Wouldnt be complete without this one....
    Good Ol' Boys (Dukes of Hazard's theme)
    Words & music by Waylon Jennings

    Just the good ol'boys
    Never meanin' no harm
    Beats all you ever saw
    Been in trouble with the law
    Since the day they was born.

    Straigh'nin' the curve
    Flat'nin' the hills
    Someday the mountains might get 'em
    But the law never will

    Makin' their way
    The only way they know how
    That's just a little bit more
    Than the law will allow

    I'm a good ol' boy
    You know my momma loves me
    But she don't understand
    They keep a showin' my hands
    And not my face on TV
    Hah hah

    k..i'll stop now..
