[Verse 1]
Told you 'bout living in the U.S. of A
You know that I'm a gangster of love
Let me tell you people that I found a new way
I'm tired of all this talk about love
Same old story with a new set of words
About the good and the bad and the poor
The times keep on changing so I'm keeping on top
Of every fat cat who walks through my door, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm a space cowboy
Bet you weren't ready for that
I'm a space cowboy, yeah
Sure you know where it's at, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
See the slow downs, showdowns, the lost and found turn-arounds
Boys in the military shirts
Keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
Don't let my friends get hurt
All you backroom schemers, power trip dreamers
Better find something new to say
It's the same old story with a new set of words
You got some heavy dues to pay
[Chorus]
You know I'm a space cowboy, yeah
Bet you weren't ready for that
I'm a space cowboy
Sure you know where it's at, yeah, yeah, yeah
Space cowboy
Sure you know where it's at
I'm a space cowboy
You know where it's at, y'all, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Ow, alright
