Lyrics

VERSE
I always wanted to be a cowboy
But I never quite got to ride the range
When I thought it just might happen
Life would turn from good to strange

VERSE
Thought I could rope and ride
I managed to get that dogie tied
I always made it to the door
But I never quite got inside

CHORUS
Is it bad to want somethin' bad?
Is it sad to be so sad?
Will I make it to your heart?
As they say, I'm gonna keep on tryin'
And I just know I'll get there one day

VERSE
I guess everyone can be a cowboy
At least in a certain kind of way
But everyone knows to be a cowboy
The cowboys gotta let you play

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Is there a difference between cowboys and lovers?
I don't think so; they just want life to go their way

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Yes, I believe I'll get there one day
