Jesse went away last summer, a couple of months ago
|
After all our time together, it was hard to see her go
|
She called me right up when she arrived, asked me one more time to come
|
Or livinĄŻ on an LA freeway, AinĄŻt my kinda havinĄŻ fun
|
|
I think IĄŻd rather be a cowboy
|
I think IĄŻd rather ride the reigns
|
I think IĄŻd rather be a cowboy
|
Then to lay me down and love the ladyĄŻs chains
|
|
We were just beginninĄŻ, it was such an easy way
|
LayinĄŻ back up in the mountains, makinĄŻ songs for summer days
|
She got tired of pickinĄŻ daisies, cookinĄŻ my meals for me
|
She can live the life she wants to, yes, itĄŻs alright with me
|
|
I think IĄŻd rather be a cowboy
|
I think IĄŻd rather ride the reigns
|
I think IĄŻd rather be a cowboy
|
Then to lay me down and love the ladyĄŻs chains
|
|
IĄŻd rather live on the side of a mountain
|
Than wander through canyons of concrete and steel
|
IĄŻd rather laugh with the rain and the sunshine
|
Then lay down my sun down in some starry field
|
|
Oh, but I miss her in the morning, when I awake alone
|
The absence of her laughter, is a cold and empty sound
|
But her memory always makes me smile, and I want you to know
|
I love her yes I love her, just enough to let her go
|
|
I think IĄŻd rather be a cowboy
|
I think IĄŻd rather ride the reigns
|
I think IĄŻd rather be a cowboy
|
Then to lay me down and love the ladyĄŻs chains
|
|
I think IĄŻd rather be a cowboy
|
I think IĄŻd rather ride the reigns
|
I think IĄŻd rather be a cowboy
|
Then to lay me down and love ladyĄŻs chains
