Song lyrics Toby Keith (1993) I should've been a cowboy.I should've learned to rope and ride.Wearing my six-shooter, riding my pony on a cattle driveStealing the young girls' heartsJust like Gene and RoySinging those campfire songs.I should've been a cowboy. Should've Been a Cowboy. Oh he ain't worth missin'Oh we should be kissin'Stop all this foolish wishin'He ain't worth missin'I know your head is turnin'I know your heart is burnin'Girl you gotta listenDon't you know he ain't worth missin' He Ain't Worth Missing. I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know thenI wish I could start this whole thing over againI'm not sayin' it's you could never be trueI just don't wanna know how it endsYou'd still have my heart in the palm of your handsI'd still look like a fool in front of your friendsYeah I wish somehow I didn't know now what I didn't know then. Wish I Didn't Know Now. Boomtown (1994) That's my house and that's my carThat's my dog in my backyardThere's the window to the roomWhere she lays her pretty head<p>I planted that tree out by the fenceNot long after we moved inThat's my kids and that's my wifeWho's that man, runnin' my life? Who's That Man. Yeah I'm in love with the girl in the four-wheel driveChrome steel bumpers and red step sideShe has a large time in her large machineMan I wonder how she gets up in that thingIt casts a big shadow sittin' in the sunShe's got it revved up rockin' ready to runAnd someday soon I'm gonna climb right upAnd take a little ride in her big ol' truck.
