Some girls dream of meeting a rich boy Some girls dream of being a playboy But since I was young, I only had one I dreamed of being a cowboy I used to strut up and down my street Wearing a stensen and boots on my feet And in my mind, I'd go back in time To a land of sand and whiskey And ooh, ooh, all the other kids They used to tell me I was strange But ooh, ooh, I didn't care what they think I knew I belonged on the plains 'Cause I was born to be a cowboy Singing in a campfire song I was born to be a cowboy But the cowboys are gone Soon I gave up on the rodeo And started listening to the radio Got lost in the sound and I found That I was born to rock and roll I started playing the electric guitar And learned to limited repertoire And dreamed of the days where the bands still played And good music could make you a star And ooh, ooh, most people said I should quit Said I didn't belong on stage But ooh, ooh, I didn't care what they think I knew I had songs in my veins 'Cause I was born to be a rock star Live fast and die young I was born to be a rockstar But the rockstars are gone How do you find your place in a world Where you don't belong? All the worlds where I should have been They've all come and gone 'Cause I was born to be someone It was written in my faith I was born to be a someone But maybe I was born too late
