She Could've Married A Cowboy Lyrics

Verse 1:
She wrote him and told him goodbye
While he was off servin' a mission
He came home and went back to cowboyin'
Now she's forty years old and still wishin'
When dawn breaks tomorrow on Utah
He'll saddle up once again
Hit that long trot through the canyon
She'll wake up a wonderin' about him
Chorus:
Singin' I could've married a cowboy
But I broke a good cowboy's heart
Now whenever I pass Heiner Canyon
I wonder where and how on earth you are
The life that I chose is a good one But between all the pain and the joy
I guess that I'll always wonder how it would be
If I married a cowboy

Verse 2:
At the twenty year high school reunion
She put on her best Sunday dress
She waited but he never came
Too busy out tamin' the west I guess
The old flame burned down to ashes
And ashes blow hard on the wind
She longingly woke up the next mornin' after
A wonderin' and wishin' again
Repeat Chorus
