I Was Born to Be a Cowboy

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And ooh, ooh, all the other kids
They used to tell me I was strange
But ooh, ooh, I didn't care what they think
I knew I belonged on the plains

[Chorus]
'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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And ooh, ooh, most people said I should quit
Said I didn't belong on stage
But ooh, ooh, I didn't care what they think
I knew I had songs in my veins

[Chorus]
'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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
'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
