Wish I was, yeah, a wild west hero

Sometimes I look up high and then I think there might
Just be a better life
Away from all we know that's where I wanna go
Out on the wild side

And I wish I was, oh, a wild west hero

Ride the range all the day till the first fading light
Be with my western girl, 'round the fire, oh so bright
I'd be the Indians' friend, let them live to be free
Ridin' into the sunset, I wish, I could be

I'd ride the desert sands and through the prairie lands
Tryin' to do what's right
The folks would come to me, they'd say, "We need you here"
I'd stay there for the night

Oh, I wish I was, oh, a wild west hero

Ride the range all the day till the first fading light
Be with my western girl, 'round the fire, oh so bright
I'd be the Indians' friend, let them live to be free
Ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be

Oh, I wish I was, oh, a wild west hero
I wish I was, oh, a wild west hero
I wish I was, oh, a wild west hero
Wish I was, oh, a wild west hero
Wish I was, ooh, a wild west hero
