Lyrics: 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.
