Shoulda Been A Cowboy

Shoulda been a cowboy

Ride my mustang in the sun

Chasing strays

And barroom babes

Out where my face is known to none

Shoulda been a cowboy

Dreamed I’d be a sailor

On an endless sea of blue

Rigging sails

Great singing whales

Living free like we all should do

Oh, to be a sailor

No time for fantasizin’

I got promises to keep

Chained to bills

Strong as steel

This job’ll be the death of me

…I shoulda been a cowboy

Maybe an explorer

See what no one’s ever seen

Mountains steep

Or caverns deep

Learn how living life really feels

Let me go exploring

Space man blasting off to Mars

Or fly boy bravely winning wars

Hunt a mighty T-Rex down

Or be a goddam circus clown

I got to do more living 

Now 

Before I go

I ache to make a noise

Stir up this old show

…I shoulda been a cowboy

Shoulda been a cowboy

Ride my mustang in the sun

Chasing strays

And barroom babes

Out where my face is known to none

Shoulda been a cowboy

Hell, I’ll be a cowboy

Drive my mustang in the sun

Let my worries fade

While getting laid

Out where my face is known to none

Born to be a cowboy!
