(Lady's Chains)
|
Jessie 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,
|
but living on an LA freeway ain't my kind of having fun.
|
I think I'd rather be a cowboy, I think I'd rather ride the range.
|
I think I'd rather be a cowboy than to lay me down in love and lady's chains.
|
|
When we were just beginning, it was such an easy way.
|
Laying back up in the mountains making love for sunny days.
|
She got tired of picking daisies and cooking my meals for me,
|
she can live the life she wants to, yes, it's all right with me.
|
I think I'd rather be a cowboy, I think I'd rather ride the range.
|
I think I'd rather be a cowboy than to lay me down in love and lady's chains.
|
|
I'd rather live on the side of a mountain than wander through canyons of concrete and steel.
|
I'd rather laugh in the rain and sunshine and lay down my sundown 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 I'd rather be a cowboy, I think I'd rather ride the range.
|
I think I'd rather be a cowboy than to lay me down in love and lady's chains.
|
I think I'd rather be a cowboy, I think I'd rather ride the range.
|
I think I'd rather be a cowboy than to lay me down in love and lady's chains.
