Should've Been A Cowboy

I bet you never heard ol' Marshall Dillon say
 "Miss Kitty, have you ever thought of runnin' away?
 Settling' down, would you marry me?
 If I ask you twice and beg 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' a young girl's heart, just like Gene and Roy
 Singin' those campfire songs, oh, I should've been a cowboy
 I might've had a sidekick 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 whiskey, women and gold
 Sleepin' out all night 'neath 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' a young girl's heart, just like Gene and Roy
 Singin' those campfire songs, oh, I should've been a cowboy
