(Verse 1)
I'm not a cowboy, but I have the will to be
Like the cowboys of the old west, like you see in history
I've got the will to be free
I was born in Brooklyn
On the wrong side of town
I'm the kinda guy
That never learned to compromise
(Chorus)
I'm a wanted man
I don't know what I did
I've been livin' like a cowboy
Livin' like a cowboy
(Verse 2)
I can't stop dreaming
Of the open range
I'm a cowboy without a range
It really isn't strange
(Chorus)
I'm a wanted man
I don't know what I did
I've been livin' like a cowboy
Livin' like a cowboy
(Bridge)
I dream of the open road
I see myself on a lonely plain
I'm lookin' for a better life
But now I got this heavy chain
(Chorus)
I'm a wanted man
I don't know what I did
I've been livin' like a cowboy
Livin' like a cowboy
(Verse 3)
Like a cowboy, on the range
Just ridin' along
It's an awful dirty feeling
But I've got to get this song to you
(Chorus)
I'm a wanted man
I don't know what I did
I've been livin' like a cowboy
Livin' like a cowboy
