| 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 |
