Jim Curry I'd Rather Be a Cowboy lyrics

Jessie went away last summer, a couple of months ago
After all our time together, it was hard to see her go
She called me right up when she arrived
Asked me one more time to come
LivinÂ’ on an LA freeway ainÂ’t my kind of havinÂ’ fun
I think IÂ’d rather be a cowboy
I think IÂ’d rather ride the range
I think IÂ’d rather be a cowboy
Than to lay me down in love and ladies chains
We were just beginning; it was such an easy way
LayinÂ’ back up in the mountains makinÂ’ songs for sunny days
She got tired of pickinÂ’ daisies and cookinÂ’ my meals for me
She can live the life she wants to, yes; itÂ’s all right with me
I think IÂ’d rather be a cowboy
I think IÂ’d rather ride the range
I think IÂ’d rather be a cowboy
Than to lay me down in love and ladies chains

IÂ’d rather live on the side of a mountain
Than wander through canyons of concrete and steel
IÂ’d rather laugh with the rain and sunshine
Than lay down my sundown in some starry field
Oh bur I miss her in the morninÂ’ when I awake alone
The absence of her laughter is a cold and empty sound
But her memory always makes me smile
And I want you to know
I love her, yes I love her just enough to let her go
I think IÂ’d rather be a cowboy
I think IÂ’d rather ride the range
I think IÂ’d rather be a cowboy
Than to lay me down in love and ladies chains
