Lyrics

1.
I'd Rather Be a Cowboy (Lady's Chains)
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, Ain't my kinda havin' fun

I think I'd rather be a cowboy
I think I'd rather ride the reigns
I think I'd rather be a cowboy
Then to lay me down and love the lady's 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, it's alright with me

I think I'd rather be a cowboy...

I'd rather live on the side of a mountain
Than wander through canyons of concrete and steel
I'd 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 I'd rather be a cowboy...

I think I'd rather be a cowboy
I think I'd rather ride the reigns
I think I'd rather be a cowboy
Then to lay me down and love lady's chains

Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)
Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my Mama cry
Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my Mama cry

Just last year when I was only seven
Now I'm almost eight as you can see
You came home a quarter past eleven
And fell down underneath our Christmas tree

Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas...

Mama smiled and looked outside the window
She told me: "Son, you better get upstairs."
But then you laughed and hollered: "Merry Christmas."
I turned around and saw my Mama's tears

Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas...
