I Wish I Was A Cowboy Lyrics

I've lost
Almost all my pride
My youth is in my past
And I don't have a thing to show
For dreams that didn't last
But a dreamer has to pay the cost
For wasting better days
Lord, I wish I was a cowboy now
So I could ride away

There's pity in all my friends eyes
When I speak of days gone by
When I tell them all how good it was
They all know its a lie
Cuz my eyes tell a story
That my lips refuse to say
Lord, I wish I was a cowboy now
So I could ride away

I wish I was a cowboy
So my feelings wouldn't show
And how my memory's all me
No one would ever know

But the price of making memories
Is one I'll always pay
Lord, I wish I was a cowboy now
So I could ride away

Lord, I wish I was cowboy now
So I could ride away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
