Should've Been a Cowboy |
| I bet you’ve never heard ol' Marshall Dillon say |
| Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away? |
| Settling down, would you marry me? |
| If I asked you twice and begged you pretty please |
| She’d of said yes in a New York minute |
| They never tied the knot, his heart wasn’t in it He stole a kiss as he road away |
| He never hung his hat up at Kitty’s place |
| I should’ve been a cowboy, I should’ve learned to rope and ride |
| Wearing my six-shooter, riding my pony on a cattle drive |
| Stealing the young girl’s heart just like Gene and Roy |
| Singing those campfire songs, oh I should’ve been a cowboy |
| I might of had a side kick with a funny name |
| Running wild through the hills chasing Jesse James |
| Ending up on the brink of danger |
| Riding shotgun for the Texas Rangers |
| Go west young man, haven’t you been told |
| California’s full of whiskey, women and gold |
| Sleeping out all night beneath the desert stars |
| Dream in my eye and a prayer in my heart |
| I should’ve been a cowboy, I should’ve learned to rope and ride |
| Wearing my six-shooter, riding my pony on a cattle drive |
| Stealing the young girl’s heart just like Gene and Roy |
| Singing those campfire songs, oh I should’ve been a cowboy |
| I should’ve been a cowboy, I should’ve learned to rope and ride |
| Wearing my six-shooter, riding my pony on a cattle drive |
| Stealing the young girl’s heart just like Gene and Roy |
| Singing those campfire songs, oh I should’ve been a cowboy |
| Yeah, I should’ve been a cowboy, yeah, I should’ve been a cowboy |
