I Ain't No Cowboy

Well, I knew the day I met her

One day I'd have to forget her

But that didn't stop me from trying to hold her

Like the river holds the rain

She always wanted wide open spaces

And I tried my best to tame her

But I would've been better off breaking

A herd of wild mustangs

I ain't no cowboy, but I wish I was

We'd have rode off together in the setting sun

'Stead of watching her ride right out of my life

If I could've roped her heart back in

I could've been what she needed when

She saddled up and she kicked up a cloud of dust

I ain't no cowboy, but now I wish I was

If I could've been more like John Wayne

I could've found a way to make her stay

But she was a Lorie Darling looking for a Gus McCrae

And at the end of the day

I ain't no cowboy, but I wish I was

We'd have rode off together in the setting sun

'Stead of watching her ride right out of my life

If I could've roped her heart back in

I could've been what she needed when

She saddled up and she kicked up a cloud of dust

I ain't no cowboy, but damn, I wish I was

No, I ain't no cowboy, but I wish I was

We'd have rode off together in the setting sun

'Stead of watching her ride right out of my life

If I could've roped her heart back in

I could've been what she needed when

She saddled up and she kicked up a cloud of dust

I ain't no cowboy, but now, I wish I was
