Worum geht es in dem Song?

"Should've Been a Cowboy" ist ein Song von Toby Keith, der die Sehnsucht nach einem wilden, abenteuerlichen Leben in ein...

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

She'd of 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

Chorus:
I should've been a cowboy
I should've learned to rope and ride
(I'd be) wearin' my six-shooter
Ridin' my pony on the cattle drive
Stealin' the young girl's hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singin' those camp fire songs
Oh, I should've been a cowboy

I might have had a side-kick with a funny name
Runnin' wild through the hills chasin' Jesse James
Or ending up on the brink of danger
Ridin' shot-gun for the Texas rangers

Go west young man, haven't you been told
California's full of whiskey, women and gold
Sleepin' all night, beneath the desert stars
With a dream in my eye, and a prayer in my heart

Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus
