It's all the same, only the names will change
C9 G F D
And ev'ry day, it seems we're wasting away

I'd drive all night, just to get back home

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride

Wanted, dead or alive
[Verso]
D (D9 D D4) C9 G
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
C9 G F D
and people I meet, always go their separate ways
D (D9 D D4) C9 G
Sometimes you tell the day, by the bottle that you drink
C9 G F D
And times when you're alone, and all you do is think
