If I knew that day I met her
Someday I'd have to forget her
That didn't stop me from tryna hold her
Like a river holds the rain
She always wanted wide open spaces
And I tried my best to tame her
I would've been better off
Than to have freed a bunch of wild mustangs
I ain't no cowboy, but I wish I was
We would've rode off together in the settin' Sun
Instead of watching her ride right out of my life
If I could've roped her heart back in
I could've been what she needed when
She saddled up and she kicked up a cloud of dust
I ain't no cowboy and now I wish I was
If I could've been more like John Wayne
Well, I could've found a way to make her stay
But she was an old red darlin'
And just looking for a prayer and a place to stay
At the end of the day
I ain't no cowboy, but I wish I was
We would've rode off together in the settin' Sun
Instead of watching her ride right out of my life
If I could've roped her heart back in
I could've been what she needed when
She saddled up and she kicked up a cloud of dust
I ain't no cowboy and now I wish I was
No I ain't no cowboy, but I wish I was
We would've rode off together in the settin' Sun
Instead of watching her ride right out of my life
If I could've roped her heart back in
I could've been what she needed when
She saddled up and she kicked up a cloud of dust
I ain't no cowboy, damn I wish I was
Damn I wish I was
Now I wish I was
