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.
