Toby Keith - Should’ve Been A Cowboy lyrics

I bet you've never heard ole Marshall Dylan 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'd of 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 road away

He never hung his hat up, at Kitty's place

I shoulda been a cowboy

I shoulda learned to rope and ride

Wearing my six-shooter, riding my pony, on a cattle drive

Stealing the young girl's hearts

Just like Gene and Roy

Singing those campfire songs

Oh, I should've been a cowboy

I might of had a side kick 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, 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

I shoulda been a cowboy

I shoulda learned to rope and ride

Wearing my six-shooter, riding my pony on a cattle drive

Stealing the young girl's hearts

Just like Gene and Roy

Singing those campfire songs

Oh, I should've been a cowboy

I should've been a cowboy

I shoulda learned to rope and ride

I'll be wearing my six-shooter, riding my pony on a cattle drive

Stealing the young girl's hearts

Just like Gene and Roy

Singing those campfire songs

Oh, I should've been a cowboy

Yeah, I should've been a cowboy

I should've been a cowboy
