I wish I'd been born in a different day
Cowboys like ole' Gus McCrae
I'd just saddle up and ride away
I wish Id been born in a different day
Well, I wish i could of lived in a different time
When Willie and Waylon walked the line
I'ts an Era long gone and it seems a crime
I wish i could live in a different time
Now I'm stuck out here in no mans land
Just an ace of spades in diamond flush hand
And I still do the best I can to fit in
But timing ain't never really been my friend
Well I wish you could of seen me in a different light
Oh I wish i could of been her shining knight
But I'll always be a friend in her eyes
Lord, I wish you could of seen me in a different light
Now I'm stuck out here in no mans land
Just an ace of spades in diamond flush hand
And I still do the best i can to fit in
But timing ain't never really been my friend
Well I wish I'd been born in a different day
Cowboys like ole' Gus McCrae
And I'd just saddle up and ride away
I wish Id been born in a different day.
