Should've Been A Cowboy Lyrics - Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 - Toby Keith

I bet you never heard ol' Marshall Dillon say 

"Miss Kitty, have you ever thought of runnin' away? 

And settling' down, would you marry me? 

If I asked you twice and begged you pretty please?" 

Lord, she'd have said yes in a New York minute 

They never tied the knot 

His heart wasn't in it, he just stole a kiss and he rode away 

He never hung his brim up at Kitty's place 

Shoulda been a cowboy, should've learned to rope and ride 

Wearin' my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive 

Stealin' a young girl's heart, yes, like Gene and Roy 

Sang a few rodeo songs, yeah, I should've been a cowboy 

Might've had a sidekick with a funny name 

Running wild through the hills chasing Jesse James 

Ending up on the brink of danger 

And riding shotgun with the Texas Rangers

Go west, young man 

Eveybody knows that California's full of whiskey 

And women and beer and gold 

Hidin' out beneath the desert star 

With a dream in my eye and a prayer, my heart 

Oh, shoulda been a cowboy, should've learned to rope and ride 

Wearin' my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive 

Stealin' a young girl's heart, oh, just like Gene and Roy 

I sang a few cowgirl songs, I should've been a cowboy 

Oh, shoulda been a cowboy, should've learned to rope and rideb 

Wearin' my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive 

Stealin' a young girl's heart, just, like Gene and Roy 

I sang a few redneck songs, yeah, I should've been a cowboy 

Let's get Western one time 

All right, California, you know this ol' cowboy song 

Let's all sing it together one time

Shoulda been a cowboy, should've learned to rope and ride 

Wearin' my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive 

Stealin' a young girl's heart just like Gene and Roy 

Singin' those campfire songs, oh, I should've been a cowboy 

Say, yeehaw 

A cowboy, should've learned to rope and ride 

Wearin' my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive 

Stealin' a young girl's heart, yeah, just like Gene and Roy 

I sang a few campfire songs, oh, I should've been a cowboy 

What'd you say? 

I said, I should've been a cowboy 

Should've been a cowboy 

You should have been one too, buddy
