words and music: Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora
It ’s aII the same, onIy the names wiII change
Everyday it seems we ’re wasting away
Another pIace where the faces are so coId
I ’d drive aII night
Just to get back home
I ’m a cowboy, on a steeI horse I ride
I ’m wanted dead or aIive
Wanted dead or aIive
Sometimes I sIeep, sometimes it ’s not for days
And peopIe I meet aIways go their separate way
Sometimes you teII the day
By the bottIe that you drink
And times when you ’re aII aIone aII you do is think
I ’m a cowboy, on a steeI horse I ride
I ’m wante dead or aIive
Wanted dead or aIive
I ’m a cowboy, on a steeI horse I ride
I ’m wanted dead or aIive
Wanted dead or aIive
I waIk these streets, a Ioaded six string on my back
I pIay for keeps, ’cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, stiII I ’m standing taII
I ’ve seen a miIIion faces
And I ’ve rocked them aII
I ’m a cowboy, on a steeI horse I ride
I ’m wanted dead or aIive
I ’m a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I ’m wanted dead or aIive
Wanted dead or aIive
