Should've Been a Cowboy (live) Lyrics

I bet you've never heard ole Marshall Dillion say
Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away
And settling down would you marry me
If I asked you twice and begged 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 should'a been a Cowboy
I should'a learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter riding by pony on the cattle drive
Stealing a young girl's heart
Just like Gene and Roy
Singin' those rodeo songs
I should've been a cowboy
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
And riding shotgun for the Texas Rangers
Go west young man,
Havent you been told California's full of whisky,womenand beer and gold
Sleepin out all night under the texas stars
A dream in my eye and a prayer in my heart

I should'a been a Cowboy
I should'a learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter riding by pony on the cattle drive
Stealing a young girl's heart
Just like Gene and Roy
Singin' those camp fire songs
oh I should'a been a cowboy
I should'a been a Cowboy
I should'a learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter riding by pony on the cattle drive
Stealing a young girl's heart
Just like Gene and Roy
Singin' those campfire songs
oh,I should'a been a cowboy
Yeah, should'a been a cowboy
