i should`ve been a cowboy

[brown_id_grl]

I bet you`ve never heard ole Marshall Dillion say
Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away
Settling down will 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 just 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 hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
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 whisky, 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 hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
I should've been a cowboy
