LYRICS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Play intro riffIt’s all the same; only the names will change
Everyday it seems we’re wasting awayAnother place where the faces are so cold
I’d drive all night just to get back homeCHORUS
I’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I rideI’m wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Play intro riffSometimes I sleep, sometimes it’s not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate waysSometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drinkAnd times when you’re alone all you do is think
CHORUSI’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I rideI’m wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHORUSI’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I rideI’m wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I walk these streets; a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps ’cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere; still I’m standing tallI’ve seen a million faces
And I’ve rocked them allCHORUS (2x)I’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted dead or aliveI’m a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I’m wanted dead or aliveWanted dead or alive
