[Intro]
C G Am F
[Verse 1]
C
As a little boy you dream
G
About what you want to be
Am
A life as a cowboy

topped the list for me
C
Riding my horse through the fields
G
and tending to the herd
Am
Going to church on Sundays
F
and listen to the word
C
A simple life on a farm
G
always was the dream
Am
Living in the suburbs
F
makes it harder than it seems
F
[Chorus 1]
C
I’ve never been a cowboy
G
Not even for a day
Am
Never roped a calf
F
or tied bail of hay
C
Never milked a cow
G
or branded a steer
Am
These things eat at me
F
I'm telling you dear
F

Never been a cowboy

Am
Never been a cowboy

But a boy can dream

C
Seems like such a simple life
G
Compared to where I live
Am
Get up in the morning
F
And give all you got to give
C
Give your wife a kiss on the lips
G
Lace up your cowboy boots
Am
Hop up in your pick up truck
F
Never worry ‘bout wearin’ a suit
F
[Chorus 2]
C
I’ve never been a cowboy
G
Not even for a day

Never roped a calf

Never milked a cow

These things eat at me

I'm telling you dear

Never been a cowboy

The sun is starting to set on life

The days and years are short

Time to do the things

Buy myself a farm

Put on my Cowboy hat and boots
F
Get mama tattooed on my arm

These days I'm a cowboy
G
Working hard everyday
Am
Learned to rope a calf
F
and tie a bail of hay

Even milked a cow

And branded a steer
Am
These things are what make me
F
and I share with you, dear
F

Now I’m a cowboy

A man living his dream
