VERSE
I bet you never heard ol'
Miss Kitty have you ever thought of runnin' away?
Settling' down would you marry me?
If I ask you twice and beg you pretty please?
He just stole a kiss as he rode away
He never hung his hat up at
CHORUS
I should've been a cowboy.
I should've learned to rope and ride.
Wearin' my six-shooter, ridin'
my pony on a cattle drive.
Stealin' a young girl's heart.
Roy Singin' those campfire songs
Oh, I should've been a cowboy
VERSE
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
California's full of whiskey
Women and gold Sleepin' out all night
With a dream in my eye and a prayer
CHORUS
I should've been a cowboy
I should've learned to rope and ride
Wearin' my six-shooter, ridin'
my pony on a cattle drive
Stealin' a young girl's heart
Roy Singin' those campfire songs
Oh, I should've been a cowboy

CHORUS
I should've been a cowboy
I should've learned to rope and ride
my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive
Stealin' a young girl's heart
Roy Singin' those campfire songs
Oh, I should've been a cowboy
OUTRO
Yeah, I should've been a cowboy
I should've been a cowboy
