[Verse 1]
It's all the same
Only the names will
Everyday, it seems we're wasting away
Another place, where the faces are so cold
I drive all night to get back home

[Chorus]
(I'm a cowboy)
On a steel horse I ride
Wanted, dead or alive
(I'm a cowboy) Wanted
Dead or alive

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I sleep
Sometimes it's not for days
People I meet, come and go their separate ways
You can tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
Times when you're alone, all you do is think

[Chorus]
(I'm a cowboy)
On a steel horse I ride
Wanted, dead or alive
(I'm a cowboy) Wanted
Dead or alive
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Now I walk these streets
This six-string in my hand
Still playin' for keeps
It's the same old me, same old band
I've been everywhere
Standing tall
I've seen a million faces
Seen an awful lot of faces

[Chorus]
(I'm a cowboy)
On a steel horse I ride
Wanted, dead or alive
(I'm a cowboy)
I've got the night on my side
I'm wanted, dead or alive
(I'm a cowboy) Wanted
Dead or alive
