The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Jesse 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

Or livin on an LA freeway, Aint my kinda havin fun

I think Id rather be a cowboy

I think Id rather ride the reigns

I think Id rather be a cowboy

Then to lay me down and love the ladys chains

We were just beginnin, it was such an easy way

Layin back up in the mountains, makin songs for summer days

She got tired of pickin daisies, cookin my meals for me

She can live the life she wants to, yes, its alright with me

I think Id rather be a cowboy

I think Id rather ride the reigns

I think Id rather be a cowboy

Then to lay me down and love the ladys chains

Id rather live on the side of a mountain

Than wander through canyons of concrete and steel

Id rather laugh with the rain and the sunshine

Then lay down my sun down in some starry field

Oh, but I miss her in the morning, 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 Id rather be a cowboy

I think Id rather ride the reigns

I think Id rather be a cowboy

Then to lay me down and love the ladys chains

I think Id rather be a cowboy

I think Id rather ride the reigns

I think Id rather be a cowboy

Then to lay me down and love ladys chains
