| In your drunken dusty town, they tried to put it over you,
|
| Something stopped you from fighting back.
|
| But now that you’re a wiser man, you won’t suffer a fool
|
| You’re playing for keeps, you won’t cut ‘em any slack.
|
| That’s just the way it’s got to be, like the script from a cowboy movie,
|
| You’re firing your gun, as you ride into the storm…
|
| You’re a rebel with a cause, you haven’t broken any laws,
|
| Except you told the truth when they wanted you to lie.
|
| So the trail leads on and on and on, you’ll get revenge I’m sure,
|
| But not in the way they think that you’re going to try.
|
| That’s just the way it’s got to be, like the script from a cowboy movie,
|
| You’re firing your gun, as you ride into the storm…
|
| That’s just the way it’s got to be, like the script from a cowboy movie,
|
| You do what should be done, as you ride into the sun…
|
| You have a heart and mind that’s true,
|
| And a dream to see you through,
|
| You’ll make it to a better place some day.
|
| That’s just the way it’s got to be, like the script from a cowboy movie,
|
| You’re firing your gun, as you ride into the storm…
|
| That’s just the way it’s got to be, like the script from a cowboy movie,
|
| You do what should be done, as you ride into the sun…
|
| That’s just the way it’s got to be…
|
| In a cowboy movie…
|
| As you ride into the sun…
|
| Like a cowboy movie. |
