I'd Rather Be A Cowboy

Jessie went away last summer

A couple of months ago.

After all our time together,

It was time to let her go.


She called me right up when she arrived.

Asked me one more time to come.

But living on an L.A. freeway

Ain't my kind of having fun.


I think I'd rather be a cowboy

I think I'd rather ride the range.

I think I'd rather be a cowboy.

Than to lay me down in love

And lady's chains.


We were just beginning,


It was such an easy way.

Laying back up in the mountains

Making songs of summer days.


But she got tired of chasing rainbows,

Cooking my meals for me.

Well, she can live the life she wants to

Yes, it's all right with me.


I think I'd rather be a cowboy.

I think I'd rather ride the range.

I think I'd rather be a cowboy

Than to lay me down in love

And lady's chains.


(Repeat last chorus)
