I wish I'd been born in a different day, with cowboys
like old Gus McCrae. I'd just saddle up and ride away.
I wish I'd been born in
a different day.
Well, I wish I could've lived in a different time, when
Willie and Waylon walked the line. It's an era long
gone and it seems a
crime. I wish I could've lived in a different time.
(Chorus)
Well, I'm stuck out here in no man's land. Just an ace
of spades in a diamond flush hand. I still do the best
I can to fit in, but
time it ain't ever really been my friend.
Well I wish you could've seen me in a different light.
I wish I could've been your shining knight, but i'll
always be a friend in
your eyes. Well, I wish you could've seen me in a
different light.
(Chorus)
And now I'm stuck out here in no man's land. I'm just
an ace of spades in a diamond flush hand. I still do
the best I can to fit in,
but time it ain't ever really been my friend.
Well I wish I'd been born in a different day, with
cowboys like old Gus McCrae, and I'd have just saddled
up and rode away. I wish
I'd been born in a different day.
