"At Least I'd Be A Cowboy!" lyrics

"At Least I'd Be A Cowboy!"

Yippee-ki-yay, yee-haw
One of those days, hee-haw
Yippee-ki-yay, yee-haw
One of those days

Yippee-ki-yay, yee-haw
What would they say? Hee-haw
Yippee-ki-yay, yee-haw
One of those days

I've been swimming upstream
Trying to scream underwater
Does nobody hear me
Cry like a lamb to the slaughter?

Does the stray dog cry "someone leash me"?
Should he lie down and die in the street?
Hug a tree like a full grown puppy?

I don't wanna be a self-fulfilling prophecy
But I've been here before, it never ends well in my dreams
If were I were a cowboy, it wouldn't change a thing
But at least I'd be a cowboy!
At least I'd be a cowboy!
At least I'd be a cowboy!

Yippee-ki-yay, yee-haw
One of those days, hee-haw
Yippee-ki-yay, yee-haw
One of those days

Yippee-ki-yay, yee-haw
What would they say? Hee-haw
Yippee-ki-yay, yee-haw
One of those days

I've been living alone
Tryna make home in myself again
I am lost again
Please don't leave me

Does the stray dog cry "someone leash me"?
Should he lie down and die in the street?
Hug a tree like a full grown puppy?

I don't wanna be a self-fulfilling prophecy
But I've been here before, it never ends well in my dreams
If were I were a cowboy, it wouldn't change a thing
But at least I'd be a cowboy!
At least I'd be a cowboy!
At least I'd be a cowboy!

I don't wanna be the clown I know you see in me
But it's not my first rodeo, despite what you may think
If I were a cowboy, it'd change everything
Cause at least I'd be a cowboy!
At least I'd be a cowboy!
At least I'd be a cowboy!

Yippee-ki-yay, yee-haw
One of those days, hee-haw
Yippee-ki-yay, yee-haw
One of those days

Yippee-ki-yay, yee-haw
What would they say? Hee-haw
Yippee-ki-yay, yee-haw
One of those days
