I could be a cowboy In the big wide open space And every single sunrise There's a story on my face I wouldn't need a blanket To keep me warm at night I'd lay down all my secrets The only thing by my side I could be a cowboy but that'd mean leaving Where the stars above are the company I'm keeping I could walk right out the door and never come back home Oh I could be a cowboy but I don't like to be alone I could be a dreamer A gun slinger in black and white I could be the good guy And always win the fight Or I could lose a quick draw And lay forgotten in the dust Watching my last sunset While my spirit turns to rust I could be a cowboy but that'd mean leaving Where the stars above are the company I'm keeping I could walk right out the door and never come back home Oh I could be a cowboy but I don't like to be alone, yeah Oh, I could be a cowboy In my muddy worn out boots I could be a cowboy It'd give me the right to run like you I could be a cowboy oh, but that'd mean leavin Where the stars above are the company I'm keeping I could walk right out the door and never come back home Oh I could be a cowboy but I don't like to be alone.
