If highways were dirt roads And street lights were stars Mustangs were horses I'd walk out of this bar A cigarette and a Stetson And whiskey in my veins I'd climb back in the saddle And grab a hold of the reins If I was a cowboy I wouldn't miss you at all A shot of Jack and a Marlboro I'd move on girl, feeling ten feet tall I'd ride off into the sunset out west Never let your memory ever tie me down If I was a cowboy I'd be over you by now You'd be ashes in a campfire Water under a bridge A trail of dust behind me You'd never find me again If I was a cowboy I wouldn't miss you at all A shot of Jack and a Marlboro I'd move on girl, feeling ten feet tall I'd ride off into the sunset out west Never let your memory ever tie me down If I was a cowboy I'd be over you by now Put my boots down in a new town Find a nail to hang my hat And you wouldn't kill me, I wouldn't still be Wishin' you'd come back If I was a cowboy If I was a cowboy I'd ride off into the sunset out west Never let your memory ever tie me down If I was a cowboy I'd be over you by now If I was a cowboy I'd be over you by now
