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
