I Was Born to Be a Cowboy - Charlie Fink
Some girls dream
Of meeting a rich boy
Some girls dream
Of being a playboy
But since I was young
I only had one
I dreamed of being a cowboy
I used to strut
Up and down my street
Wearing a stensen
And boots on my feet
And in my mind
I'd go back in time
To a land of sand and whiskey
And
All the other kids
They used to tell me
I was strange
But
I didn't care what they think
I knew I belonged on the plains
'Cause I was born
To be a cowboy
Singing in a campfire song
I was born
To be a cowboy
But the cowboys are gone
Soon I gave up
On the rodeo
And started listening to the
Radio
Got lost in the sound
And I found
That I was born to
Rock and roll
I started playing
The electric guitar
And learned to limited
Repertoire
And dreamed of the days
Where the bands still played
And good music
Could make you a star
But
Most people said I should quit
Said I didn't belong on stage
But
I didn't care what they think
I knew I had songs in my veins
'Cause I was born
To be a rock star
Live fast and die young
I was born
To be a rockstar
But the rockstars are gone
How do you find
Your place in a world
Where you don't belong
All the worlds
Where I should have been
They've all come and gone
'Cause I was born
To be someone
It was written
In my faith
I was born
To be a someone
But maybe I was born too late
