Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] 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
