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 travel all night just to get back home I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride I'm wanted dead or alive Wanted dead or alive 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 Wanted (wanted) dead or alive Oh and I ride! 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, 'cause 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 I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive And I ride, dead or alive I still drive, dead or alive Dead or alive Dead or alive Dead or alive Dead or alive
