Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

Every day, ooh, it seems we're wastin' away

Another place where, God, those faces are so cold

You know I'd drive all night if I could get back home

[Chorus]

I'm a cowboy

On a steel horse I ride

I'm wanted (Wanted)

Dead or alive

I'm wanted (Wanted)

Dead or alive

[Instrumental]

Play

[Instrumental]

Sometimes I sleep (Sometimes it's not for days)

Ooh, the people I meet always go their separate ways

(Sometimes you tell the day) By the bottle that you drink

(Sometimes you're all alone) God, all you do is think

[Chorus]

I'm a cowboy

On a steel horse I ride

I'm wanted (Wanted)

Dead or alive

I'm wanted (Wanted)

Dead or alive

[Instrumental]

Ride 'em, cowboy

Play that six string

[Instrumental]

Ooh, I'm a cowboy

On a steel horse I ride

I'm wanted (Wanted)

Dead or alive

[Verse 2]

Now I walk the streets, I got a Stratocaster on my back

You know I'm playing for keeps, mister, I might not make it back

Oh, well, everywhere I've been, don't you know I'm standing tall?

Seen a million faces and I've rocked them all

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm a cowboy

And on a steel horse I ride

Wanted (Wanted)

Dead or alive

Just a cowboy (Another cowboy)

I got the night on my side

I'm wanted (Wanted)

Dead or alive

[PostChorus]

And I ride (And I ride)

Dead or alive

Oh, I still drive (Still drive)

Hey, dead or alive

[Outro]

Am I dead (Am I dead or alive?)

Or alive? (Dead, dead, dead or alive?)

Dead or alive

Am I dead or alive?
