Should've Been A Cowboy

I bet you never heard old Marshall Dillon say

Miss Kitty, have you ever thought of running away?

Settling down? Would you marry me?

If I ask 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 as he rode 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 (Rope and ride)

Wearing my six-shooter

Riding my pony on a cattle drive

Stealing the young girls' hearts

Just like Gene and Roy

Singing those campfire songs

Whoa, 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

Riding shotgun for the Texas ranger

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

With a dream in my eye and a prayer in my heart

I should've been a cowboy

I should've learned to rope and ride (Rope and ride)

Wearing my six-shooter

Riding my pony on a cattle drive

Stealing the young girls' hearts

Just like Gene and Roy

Singing those campfire songs

Whoa, I should've been a cowboy

I should've been a cowboy

I should've learned to rope and ride (Rope and ride)

I'd be wearing my six-shooter

Riding my pony on a cattle drive

Stealing the young girls' hearts

Just like Gene and Roy

Singing those campfire songs

Whoa, I should've been a cowboy

Yeah, I should've been a cowboy

I should've been a cowboy
