Should've Been a Cowboy - Toby Keith

Well, I went through my list of friends And found I had no one to tell Of this overwhelming clean feeling, strange serenity When I saw the girl looked just like me And it broke my heart The lengths you went to hold me To get to have me 'Cause, I haven't given you what you need You wanted me but couldn't reach me So you went into your memory Relive all the ways you still want me I haven't given you what you need You wanted me but couldn't reach me I'm sorry it should've been me I'd be going 'bout my day until a hand Would come and lift me out And drop me in the middle of a labyrinth, where I'd be stuck a while When I saw the girl looked just like me I thought, "Must be lonely loving someone" Tryna to find their way out of a maze Oh, I know I haven't given you what you need You wanted me but couldn't reach me So you went into your memory Relive all the ways you still want me I haven't given you what you need You wanted me but couldn't reach me I'm sorry, it should've been me I'm sorry, it should've been me

A telephone call A pay phone in Dallas Stumblin' drunk Fistful of wild flowers Reckon I would've left too if I was you 'Cause looking back now, I loved you The only way a cowboy knows how Might as well find me a sunset and ride off in it Find me a ghost town and disappear in it Saddle some bar stool up until you're gone Find me a jukebox heartbreak song Play it over and over 'til the cows come home Get back on that horse and get over you The only way a cowboy knows how If your heart was barbwire Maybe I could mend it If your heart was a wildfire Baby, I'd tend it Reckon I would've left too if I was you 'Cause looking back now, I loved you The only way a cowboy knows how Might as well find me a sunset and ride off in it Find me a ghost town and disappear in it Saddle some bar stool up until you're gone Find me a jukebox heartbreak song Play it over and over 'til the cows come home Get back on that horse and get over you The only way a cowboy knows how Might as well find me a sunset and ride off in it Find me a ghost town and disappear in it Saddle some bar stool up until you're gone Find me a jukebox heart break song Play it over and over 'til the cows come home Get back on that horse and get over you The only way a cowboy Oh, the only way a cowboy The only way a cowboy knows how

Woah-oo-woo, woah-oo-woo Woah-oo-woo, woah-oo-woo Ridin' off in the sunset, blue eyes under my Stetson A little lady on the front porch wishin' my heart would start settling Big iron hips with the holsters I'd be lookin' mighty fine on a poster Wanted by the law but the laws don't apply to me If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free Rollin' around these towns like tumbleweeds I'd be a legend at loving and leaving Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings You thought the West was wild but you ain't saddled up with me If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen Woah-oo-woo, woah-oo-woo Sittin' pretty on the prairie, baby I'm your Huckleberry, let me hold ya This six-gun sugar's got a hairpin trigger, like I told ya And this dove never really gets lonesome I never begged, never borrowed but I stole some Wanted by the law but the laws don't apply to me, baby If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free Rollin' around these towns like tumbleweeds I'd be a legend at loving and leaving Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings You thought the West was wild but you ain't saddled up with me If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen So mamas if your daughters grow up To be cowboys, so what? If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free Rollin' around these towns like tumbleweeds (tumbling tumbleweeds) I'd be a legend at loving and leaving Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings You thought the West was wild but you ain't saddled up with me (up with me) If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen Woah-oo-woo I'd be the queen Woah-oo-woo, woah-oo-woo Woah-oo-woo, woah-oo-woo

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
