Jesse 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
Livin^? on an L.A. freeway, ain^?t my kind of havin^? fun
I think I^?d rather be a cowboy
I think I^?d rather ride the range
I think I^?d rather be a cowboy
Than to lay me down in love and lady^?s chains
- - x2
When we were just beginning, it was such and easy way
Layin^? back up in the mountains, singin^? songs for sunny
days
But she got tired of pickin^? daisies and cookin^? my meals for
me
She can live the life she wants to, yes, and it^?s all right with
me
I think I^?d rather be a cowboy
I think I^?d rather ride the range
I think I^?d rather be a cowboy
Than to lay me down in love and lady^?s chains
I^?d rather live on the side of a mountain
Than wander through canyons of concrete and steel
I^?d rather laugh with the rain and sun shine
And lay down my sundown in some starry field
Oh, but I miss her in the mornin^?, when I awake alone
And 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 I^?d rather be a cowboy
I think I^?d rather ride the range
I think I^?d rather be a cowboy
Than to lay me down in love and lady^?s chains
I think I^?d rather be a cowboy
I think I^?d rather ride the range
I think I^?d rather be a cowboy
Than to lay me down in love and lady^?s chains
