I bet you never heard ol' Marshall Dillon say
|
Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away
|
And settling down, would you marry me
|
If I asked you twice and begged you pretty please?
|
She'd have said yes in a New York minute; they never tied the knot.
|
His heart wasn't in it, he just stole a kiss and he rode away.
|
He never hung his hat up at Kitty's place.
|
|
I should've been a cowboy.
|
Should've learned to rope and ride.
|
Wearing my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive.
|
Stealing a young girl's heart. Yeah, just like Gene and Roy.
|
Sing those campfire songs. Oh, I should've been a cowboy.
|
|
I might've had a sidekick with a funny name,
|
Running wild through the hills chasing Jesse James.
|
Ending up on the brink of danger,
|
And riding shotgun with the Texas Rangers.
|
Go West, young man!
|
Haven't you been told that
|
California's full of whiskey and women and gold.
|
Hidin' out all night beneath the desert star
|
With a dream in my eye and a prayer my heart.
|
|
I should've been a cowboy.
|
Should've learned to rope and ride.
|
Wearing my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive.
|
Stealing a 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.
|
I'd be wearing my six-shooter, riding my pony on a cattle drive.
|
Stealing a young girl's heart, just like Gene and Roy.
|
Singing those campfire songs, yeah, I should've been a cowboy.
|
|
Yeah I should've been a cowboy
|
I should've been a cowboy
|
