Should've Been A Cowboy

If I asked you twice and begged you pretty please?" Lord, 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 brim up at Kitty's place Shoulda been a cowboy, should've learned to rope and ride Wearin' my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive Stealin' a young girl's heart, yes, like Gene and Roy Sang a few rodeo songs, yeah, I should've been a cowboy 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 Eveybody knows that California's full of whiskey And women and beer and gold Hidin' out beneath the desert star With a dream in my eye and a prayer, my heart Oh, shoulda been a cowboy, should've learned to rope and ride Wearin' my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive Stealin' a young girl's heart, oh, just like Gene and Roy I sang a few cowgirl songs, I should've been a cowboy Oh, shoulda been a cowboy, should've learned to rope and rideb Wearin' my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive Stealin' a young girl's heart, just, like Gene and Roy I sang a few redneck songs, yeah, I should've been a cowboy Let's get Western one time All right, California, you know this ol' cowboy song Let's all sing it together one time Shoulda been a cowboy, should've learned to rope and ride 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 Say, yeehaw A cowboy, should've learned to rope and ride Wearin' my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive Stealin' a young girl's heart, yeah, just like Gene and Roy I sang a few campfire songs, oh, I should've been a cowboy What'd you say?
