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
