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
