If I were a cowboy
I'd be out on the range
Roping and riding
Watching the cattle graze
By a creek bank or a river
Laid out in the shade
If I were a cowboy
Yeah, if I were a cowboy
Chasing the setting sun
High in the saddle
Til the work day was done
By a campfire trading stories
Of when we were young
Oh, if I were a cowboy

Melody
Yeah, if I were a cowboy
I'd be riding fence
Branding cattle
In a cold Texas wind
Song in my whistle
From beginning to end
If I were a cowboy

If I were a cowboy
In a rodeo
Digging my spurs in
Kicking up prairie coal
Playing my hand
Giving it hell
With my hat dropped low
Yeah, if I were a cowboy

If I were a cowboy
Knelt by your side
Swearing my love for you girl
Would never die
Could you take hold
Never let go
On the trails I have rode
Oh if I were a cowboy

Melody
Yeah if I were a cowboy
Out riding fence
Branding cattle
In a cold Texas wind
A song in my whistle
From beginning to end
Yeah if I were a cowboy
