I wish I was a cowboy Go out riding on a range Take off from the city I might stop going insane Camp out on the prairie I might find my peace of mind And I'll leave this dirty city far behind I might go down to the ocean Listen to the sea Lie awake wondering do you ever think of me I wonder if the love that we had could ever be And I wonder where you are tonight And I wonder if you're lying in the arms of some strong man Giving him your loving just the way I know you can I've only got myself to blame and that's so hard to bear Cause I can't convince myself that I don't care So I'll guess I'll be a cowboy Go out riding on the range Take off from the city I might stop going insane Camp out on the prairie I might find my peace of mind And I'll leave this dirty city far behind Oh I'm gonna leave Oh I'm gonna leave I'm gonna leave this dirty city far behind Oh I'm gonna leave Oh I'm gonna leave I'm gonna leave this dirty city far behind
