It's all the same, only the names will change

Every day, it seems we're wastin' away

Another place where the faces are so cold

I'd drive all night to get back home

I'm a cowboy

On a steel horse I ride

I'm wanted dead or alive

I’m wanted dead or alive yeah

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days

The people I meet always go their separate ways

Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink

And times when you're alone, all you do is think

I'm a cowboy

On a steel horse I ride

I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

Yeah wanted (wanted), dead or alive

Oh, and I ride

Yeah

Oh, I'm a cowboy

On a steel horse I ride

I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

And I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back

I play for keeps because I might not make it back

I've been everywhere, still I'm standing tall

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all

'Cause I'm a cowboy

On a steel horse I ride

I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

'Cause I'm a cowboy

I got the night on my side

And I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

And I ride (and I ride), dead or alive

I still drive (I still drive), dead or alive

Dead or alive

Dead or alive

Dead or alive

Dead or alive
