| Midnight, midnight rider
|
| It’s all the same, only the names will change
|
| Everyday, it seems we’re wastin' away
|
| Another place where the faces are so cold
|
| I drive all night just to get back home
|
| 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
|
| The people I meet always go their separate ways
|
| Sometimes you tell the day
|
| By the bottle that you drink
|
| And times when you’re all alone all you do is think
|
| I’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
|
| I’m wanted (wanted) dead or alive
|
| Wanted (wanted) dead or alive
|
| Oh, and I ride!
|
| (Yeah!)
|
| Oh, and I’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
|
| I’m wanted dead or alive
|
| 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 (wanted) dead or alive
|
| I’m a cowboy, I got the night on my side
|
| I’m wanted (wanted) dead or alive
|
| And I ride, dead or alive
|
| I still drive (I still drive) dead or alive
|
| Dead or alive, dead or alive, dead or alive, dead or alive |
