I'd Rather Be a Cowboy (Lady's Chains) - John Denver
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
Or livin' on an LA freeway Ain't my kinda havin' fun
I think I'd rather be a cowboy
I think I'd rather ride the reigns
I think I'd rather be a cowboy
Then to lay me down and love the lady's chains
We were just beginnin' it was such an easy way
Layin' back up in the mountains makin' songs for summer days
She got tired of pickin' daisies cookin' my meals for me
She can live the life she wants to yes it's alright with me
I think I'd rather be a cowboy
I think I'd rather ride the reigns
I think I'd rather be a cowboy
Then to lay me down and love the 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 the sunshine
Then lay down my sun down in some starry field
Oh but I miss her in the morning 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 I'd rather be a cowboy
I think I'd rather ride the reigns
I think I'd rather be a cowboy
Then to lay me down and love the lady's chains
I think I'd rather be a cowboy
I think I'd rather ride the reigns
I think I'd rather be a cowboy
Then to lay me down and love lady's chains
