A Different Day

I wish I'd been born in a different day

With cowboys like old Gus McCrae

I'd just saddle up and ride away

I wish I'd been born in a different day

Well, I wish I could've lived in a different time

When Willie and Waylon walked the line

It's an era long gone and it seems a crime

I wish I could've lived in a different time

Well, I'm stuck out here in no man's land

Just an ace of spades in a diamond flush hand

I still do the best I can to fit in

But time, it ain't ever really been my friend

Well, I wish you could've seen me in a different light

I wish I could've been your shining knight

But I'll always be a friend in your eyes

Well, I wish you could've seen me in a different light

And now I'm stuck out here in no man's land

I'm just an ace of spades in a diamond flush hand

And I still do the best I can to fit in

But time, it ain't ever really been my friend

Well, I wish I'd been born in a different day

With cowboys like old Gus McCrae

And I'd have just saddled up and rode away

I wish I'd been born in a different day
