You wanna be my afternoon matinee?
We could get high and kill the day
We could play like lovers in a French cafe
You sip cabernet and I'll light a smoke
Maybe we don't go our separate ways
Like fading stars or silver screen ghosts
I get gone with the wind when I'm lookin' at you kid
Well, I don't wanna be a sunset cowboy
Riding off alone
Lost at the rodeo
I got a shotgun seat for an A-list lead
Jump inside
Let the credits roll
Fast forward all the heartbreak scenes
Cut to you and me in a Hollywood dream, yeah
I wanna live in a world where the boy gets the girl
I could see our names on a big marquee
We could light it up, just you and me
You won't find our lovin' in a magazine
This won't be a secret nobody knows
Cause this don't feel like some cameo
It's front row seats
We're the stars of the show
I get gone with the wind when I'm lookin' at you kid
Well, I don't wanna be a sunset cowboy
Riding off alone
Lost at the rodeo
I got a shotgun seat for an A-list lead
Jump inside
Let the credits roll
Fast forward all the heartbreak scenes
Cut to you and me in a Hollywood dream, yeah
I wanna live in a world where the boy gets the girl
And I'd stand outside your window, babe
I'll say anything, girl, like a Cusack jukebox hero
All your life
On your knees
Late at night
Fall asleep
Said a prayer
For a dream
For the boy like you wished on sixteen candles
Well, I don't wanna be a sunset cowboy
Riding off alone
Lost at the rodeo
I got a shotgun seat for an A-list lead
Jump inside
Let the credits roll
Fast forward all the heartbreak scenes
Cut to you and me in a Hollywood dream, yeah
I wanna live in a world where the boy gets the girl
(Live in a world)
I wanna live in a world where the boy gets the girl
