Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Yeah, I should've been a cowboy
I should've been a cowboy
