A Different Day

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.

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.

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.
