[Verse 1]
If highways were dirt roads, streetlights were stars
Mustangs were horses, I'd walk outta this bar
A cigarette and a Stetson and whiskey in my veins
I'd climb back in the saddle and grab ahold of the reins

[Chorus]
If I was a cowboy, I wouldn't miss you at all
A shot of Jack and Marlboro, I'd move on, girl, feelin' ten feet tall
I'd ride off into the sunset out west
Never let your memory ever tie me down
If I was a cowboy, I'd be over you by now

[Verse 2]
You'd be ashes in a campfire, water under a bridge
A trail of dust behind me, you'd never find me again

[Chorus]
If I was a cowboy, I wouldn't miss you at all
A shot of Jack and Marlboro, I'd move on, girl, feelin' ten feet tall
I'd ride off into the sunset out west
Never let your memory ever tie me down
If I was a cowboy, I'd be over you by now

[Bridge]
Let my boots down in a new town
Find a nail to hang my hat
And you wouldn't kill me, and I wouldn't still be
Wishin' you'd come back
[Chorus]
If I was a cowboy, I wouldn't miss you at all
A shot of Jack and Marlboro, I'd move on, girl, feelin' ten feet tall
I'd ride off into the sunset out west
Never let your memory ever tie me down
If I was a cowboy, I'd be over you by now
