Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's all the same
Only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night to get back home
[Chorus]
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
Wanted, dead or alive
I'm a cowboy (Wanted)
Dead or alive
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I sleep
Sometimes it's not for days
People I meet, always go their separate ways
You can tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
Times when you're all alone, all you do is think
[Chorus]
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
Wanted
Dead or alive
I'm a cowboy (Wanted)
Dead or alive
[Verse 3]
Now I walk these streets
This six-string in my hand
Still playin' for keeps
It's the same old me, same old band
I've been everywhere
Standing tall
I've seen a million faces
Seen an awful lot of faces
[Chorus]
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
Wanted
Dead or alive
I'm a cowboy
I've got the night on my side
I'm wanted
Dead or alive
I'm a cowboy (Wanted)
Dead or alive
