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

And ev'ry day, it seems we're wasting away

Another place, where the faces are so cold

I'd drive 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

and 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, and all you do is think

 

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride

I'm wanted, dead or alive

Wanted, dead or alive

 

Ooooh and 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 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

Well I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side

I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

Dead or alive, dead or alive

Dead or alive, I still ride  (still ride)

Dead or alive, Dead or alive

Dead or alive, dead or alive

Dead or alive, dead or alive
