It's all the same, only the names will change 
Every day it seems we're wasting away 
Another place where the faces are so cold 
I'd drive all night just to get back home 
Chorus: 
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride 
I'm wanted dead or alive 
Wanted dead or alive 
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days 
And the people I meet always go their separate ways 
Somet imes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink 
And times when you're alone all you do is think 
Chorus 
I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back 
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back 
I been everywhere, still I'm standing tall 
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all 
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride 
I'm wanted dead or alive 
I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side 
I'm wanted dead or alive 
Wanted dead or alive
