I Was Born to Be a Cowboy - Charlie Fink

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

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

'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

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

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

'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

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

'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
