Wish I were a cowboy, with my la**o in the air,
Breaking wild ponies, not one regret to spare,
Me and my Winchester, all alone, we wouldn't care,
Wish I could be all alone, and not even care,
Wish I were a cowboy, with my la**o in the air. Wish I were a policeman, on a movie matinee,
Me and my good buddy, just blowin' crooks away,
All our sequels written, so we'd know just what to say,
How I wish, when I'm with you, I'd know what to say,
Wish I were a policeman, on a movie matinee. Now if you got some time to k**, you know I can do it,
You got some joke to tell, I've probably been through it,
But when waiting is all I ever do,
Well, then it's hard on you,
'Cause then you're doing it, too. And you say, that there's a time to be real, and I just don't seem to get it,
A time to grow up, and not regret it,
And in the glare of the airport lights,
I see you're so right, you're so right.
