[Spoken Word Intro: Jon Bon Jovi]
Would you please rise
For the playing of our national anthem?

[Verse 1: Jon Bon Jovi]
It's all the same, only the names will change
Every day, it seems we're wastin' away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I drive all night to get back home

[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi]
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
Wanted dead or alive
Wanted (Wanted dead or alive)
Yeah

[Verse 2: Jon Bon Jovi]
Sometimes I sleep, 'times it's not for days
The people I meet, they come and then they go their separate ways
'Times you tell the day by the bottle that you drink
Sometimes when you're alone, all you do is think

[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, & Both]
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
Wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
Wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
Let's ride!
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, & Both]
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
Wanted (Wanted) dead or alive

[Verse 3: Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, & Both]
Well, I walk the streets, a loaded six-string on my back
I play for keeps, Lord, 'cause I might not make it back
Oh, and I've been everywhere, oh yeah, and I'm standin' tall
Seen a million faces and I rocked them all

[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, & Both]
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse, I ride
Wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
I'm a cowboy
The night's on my side
Wanted (Wanted) dead or alive

[Outro: Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, & Both]
And I ride (And I ride), dead or alive
I ride (I still drive), dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
