You've been living in this big town

Just a little too long now

You've been looking for a cowboy to take you away

From this high-rise citified life 



You've been looking for a big change

Just a little bit more space

You've been waiting on some

Bighearted John Wayne to pick you up

And ride you away



Welcome to the wild wild west

Let your heart run like an outlaw

Ride into a new sunset

Don't you think that it's time that we got lost

In a big sky, big life, you and I could ride

Into the wild wild west



Well, forget about the Fool's Gold

Yeah, and that 9 to 5 freak show

On the back of a strong Palomino, baby

We could go for mile, and mile, and miles



[Chorus]



Oh, if it's freedom you've been missing

Baby, take my hand



Welcome to the wild wild west



Ride into a new sunset



In a big sky, big life, you and I could ride

Into the wild wild west

Let your heart run like an outlaw

Ride into a new sunset

Don't you think that it's time that we got lost
