John Denver Lyrics for Song: I'd Rather Be a Cowboy (Ladies Chains)
 Lyrics for Album: Triple Feature [2009]
 
 
 
 11084>Jessie went away last summer, a couple of months ago
 
 After all our time together, it was hard to see her go
 
 She called me right up when she arrived
 
 Asked me one more time to come
 
 Livin' on an LA freeway ain't my kind of havin' fun
 
 I think I'd rather be a cowboy
 
 I think I'd rather ride the range
 
 I think I'd rather be a cowboy
 
 Than to lay me down in love and ladies chains
 
 We were just beginning; it was such an easy way
 
 Layin' back up in the mountains makin' songs for sunny days
 
 She got tired of pickin' daisies and cookin' my meals for me
 
 She can live the life she wants to, yes; it's all right with me
 
 I think I'd rather be a cowboy
 
 I think I'd rather ride the range
 
 I think I'd rather be a cowboy
 
 Than to lay me down in love and ladies chains
 
 I'd rather live on the side of a mountain
 
 Than wander through canyons of concrete and steel
 
 I'd rather laugh with the rain and sunshine
 
 Than lay down my sundown in some starry field
 
 Oh bur I miss her in the mornin' when I awake alone
 
 The absence of her laughter is a cold and empty sound
 
 But her memory always makes me smile
 
 And I want you to know
 
 I love her, yes I love her just enough to let her go
 
 I think I'd rather be a cowboy
 
 I think I'd rather ride the range
 
 I think I'd rather be a cowboy
 
 Than to lay me down in love and ladies chains
 
 Repeat
