Say, yeehaw

I bet you never heard ol Marshall Dillon say
Miss Kitty, have you ever thought of runnin away?
And settling down, would you marry me?
If I asked you twice and begged you pretty please?

Lord, shed have said yes in a New York minute
They never tied the knot
His heart wasnt in it, he just stole a kiss and he rode away
He never hung his brim up at Kittys place

Shoulda been a cowboy, shouldve learned to rope and ride
Wearin my six-shooter, ridin my pony on a cattle drive
Stealin a young girls heart, yes, like Gene and Roy
Sang a few rodeo songs, yeah, I shouldve been a cowboy

Mightve had a sidekick with a funny name
Running wild through the hills chasing Jesse James
Ending up on the brink of danger
And riding shotgun with the Texas Rangers

Go west, young man
Eveybody knows that Californias full of whiskey
And women and beer and gold
Hidin out beneath the desert star
With a dream in my eye and a prayer, my heart

Oh, shoulda been a cowboy, shouldve learned to rope and ride
Wearin my six-shooter, ridin my pony on a cattle drive
Stealin a young girls heart, oh, just like Gene and Roy
I sang a few cowgirl songs, I shouldve been a cowboy

Oh, shoulda been a cowboy, shouldve learned to rope and rideb
Wearin my six-shooter, ridin my pony on a cattle drive
Stealin a young girls heart, just, like Gene and Roy
I sang a few redneck songs, yeah, I shouldve been a cowboy

Lets get Western one time
All right, California, you know this ol cowboy song
Lets all sing it together one time

Shoulda been a cowboy, shouldve learned to rope and ride
Wearin my six-shooter, ridin my pony on a cattle drive
Stealin a young girls heart just like Gene and Roy
Singin those campfire songs, oh, I shouldve been a cowboy

Say, yeehaw

A cowboy, shouldve learned to rope and ride
Wearin my six-shooter, ridin my pony on a cattle drive
Stealin a young girls heart, yeah, just like Gene and Roy
I sang a few campfire songs, oh, I shouldve been a cowboy

Whatd you say?
I said, I shouldve been a cowboy
Shouldve been a cowboy
You should have been one too, buddy
