(i Used To Want To Be A) Cowboy Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

I used to want to be a cowboy 

Spent my childhood dreamin' that 

Wearing spurs and boots and six guns 

And a big ten-gallon hat 

Chasin' outlaws, savin' ladies 

Bustin' broncs at rodeos 

Riding off into the sunset 

Like they do in picture shows 

I used to want to be a cowboy 

I dreamed about it until the day 

That a green-eyed Texas lady 

Smiled and stole my heart away 

Now I'm trackin' down a livin' 

And as far as I can see 

Right now I'm just as much a cowboy 

As I'm ever gonna be 

'Cause my round-ups at a truck stop 

The trails a super slab 

I wear boots up in the saddle 

Of my eighteen wheelers cab 

Riding hell bent for the bunkhouse 

Just across the Georgia Line 

Where tonight, I'll see my lady 

And that little boy of mine 

And he wants to be a cowboy 

You know somehow I kind of expected that 

Wearing spurs and boots and six guns 

And a big ten-gallon hat 

And all my cowboy dreams are livin' 

In that little buckaroo 

Cowboys often end up daddies 

You know I'm really glad, they do 

And he wants to be a cowboy 

Just the way his daddy did 

When he's on his broomstick pony 

He's Hoppy, Roy and the Sisco Kid 

And he wants to be a cowboy 

Just the way his daddy did
