I Shoulda Been a Cowboy Video (MV)

Watched the neon flashing far below me
Flying out over the county line
Streets and houses stretch as far as the mountains
Like it's part of a grand design
Past the town where people stayed
By the lake that they had made
When they stopped the river deep and wide

Set down on a ranch in the desert
On the trail where those pioneers came
Cowboy tells me it's the rainy season
But it sure don't look like rain
As the sunset came, I rode a horse with no name
Looking up at spirit mountain

I guess I should have been a cowboy
I could have played those cowboy songs
Everyone could come and see me
Maybe they'd sing along
I guess I should have been a cowboy
I could have loved some bar and grill
Charged 250 bucks to see me
Maybe some day I will, maybe some day I will

As the sun dropped below the mountain
I Looked up and saw the milky way
It was the First time I'd ever seen it
Not my only first today
As the cowboy lit a fire
He gave me his spare guitar
Man you shoulda heard us play

I guess I should have been a cowboy,
I could have played those cowboy songs
Everyone could come and see me
Maybe they'd sing along
I guess I should have been a cowboy
I could have loved some bar and grill
Charged 250 bucks to see me
Maybe some day I will, maybe some day I will

Cowboy told me not hide my talent,
Maybe I need a hat and boots like his
Start singing songs about the old country
And get me a life like this

I guess I should have been a cowboy
I could have played those cowboy songs
Everyone could come and see me
Maybe they'd sing along
I guess I should have been a cowboy
I could have loved some bar and grill
Charged 250 bucks to see me
Maybe some day I will, maybe some day I will
