Lyrics
[Verse 1: Josh Abbott Band]

I bet you've never heard ole Marshall Dillion say

Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away

Settling down, will 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 stole a kiss as he road 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

Wearing my six-shooter riding my pony on a cattle drive

Stealing the young girl's hearts

Just like Gene and Roy singing those campfire songs

I should've been a cowboy

[Verse 2: Carly Pearce]

I 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 riding shotgun for the Texas Rangers

Go west young man, haven't you been told

California's full of whisky, women and gold

Sleeping out all night beneath the desert stars

Dream in my eye and a prayer in my heart

I should've been a cowboy

I should've learned to rope and ride

Wearing my six-shooter riding my pony on a cattle drive

Stealing the young girl's hearts

Just like Gene and Roy singing those campfire songs

I should've been a cowboy

[Both]

I should've been a cowboy

I should'be learned to rope and ride

Wearing my six-shooter riding my pony on a cattle drive

Stealing the young girl's hearts

Just like Gene and Roy singing those campfire songs

I should've been a Cowboy [x4]
