A Song I Would Have Played For John Wayne

[Should've Been a Cowboy by Toby Keith]

… I bet you've never heard ol' Marshal Dillon say

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

Settlin' down, would you marry me

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

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 as he rode away

He never hung his hat up at Kitty's place

… 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' the young girls' hearts

Just like Gene and Roy

Singin' those campfire songs

Woah, I should've been a cowboy

… I might of had a sidekick with a funny name

Runnin' wild through the hills chasin' Jesse James

Ending up on the brink of danger

Ridin' shotgun for the Texas Rangers

Go west young man, haven't you been told?

California's full of whiskey, women and gold

Sleepin' out all night beneath the desert stars

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

… 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' the young girls' hearts

Just like Gene and Roy

Singin' those campfire songs

Woah, I should've been a cowboy

… I should've been a cowboy

I should've learned to rope and ride

I'd be wearin' my six-shooter, ridin' my pony on a cattle drive

Stealin' the young girls' hearts

Just like Gene and Roy

Singin' those campfire songs

Woah, I should've been a cowboy

… Yeah, I should've been a cowboy

I should've been a cowboy
