Should've Been a Cowboy

[Verse 1] I bet you have never heard ole Marshal Dillon say Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away Settling down would you marry me If I ask you twice and beg you pretty please She should of said Yes in a New York minute They never tied the knot His heart was not in it He just stole a kiss as he road away He never hung his hat up, at Kitty's place [Chorus] I should been a cowboy I should learned to rope and ride Wearing my six-shooter, riding my pony on a cattle drive Stealing young girls hearts Just like Gene and Roy Singing those campfire songs Oh, I should have been a cowboy [Verse 2] I might of 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 Rangers Go west young man, have not you been told California is 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] [x2]
