Should've Been A Cowboy (Apple Music Sessions)

I'll bet you've never heard ol' Marshal Dillon say

"Miss Kitty, have you ever thought of runnin' away?

Of 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

Just blew 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)

I'd be wearin' my six-shooter

Ridin' my pony on a cattle drive

Stealin' a young girl's heart

Just like Gene and Roy

Singin' those campfire songs

Oh, I should've been a cowboy

I might have had a sidekick with a funny name

Runnin' wild through the hills, chasin' Jesse James

Ending up on the brink of danger

Ridin' shotgun for the Texas Rangers

Go west, young man, haven't you been told?

California's full of whiskey, women, and gold

Layin' out all night beneath the desert stars

A gleam 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)

I'd be wearin' my six-shooter

Ridin' my pony on a cattle drive

Stealin' a young girl's heart

Yeah, just like Gene and Roy

Singin' those campfire songs

Oh, I should've been a cowboy

I should've been a cowboy

I should've been a cowboy

I should've learned to rope and ride

I'd be wearin' my six-shooter

Ridin' my pony on a cattle drive

Stealin' a young girl's heart

Yeah, just like ol' Gene and Roy

Singin' those campfire songs

Oh, I should've been a cowboy

I should've been a cowboy

Yeah, I should've been a cowboy
