When I was six I had two 45's

Strapped to my hips, wanted dead or alive

And all of the kids thought that I was a good guy at heart

When I got to high school, not much really changed

I ran from the cops in my souped up Mustang

And all of the girls thought that I was a good guy at heart

And I'd ride like a thief on the run

And I'd hide from the things that I've done

And I'd fly like the wind to the sunset

Just like a cowboy should do

Just like a cowboy should do

Girl I will love you the best that I can

But you need to know that I am what I am

And I'm not a bad guy but I'm not a good guy at heart

And I'll ride like a thief on the run

Say goodbye to the things that I've done

And I'll fly like the wind to the sunset

Just like a cowboy should do

Just like a cowboy should do

Wish I could tell you that I'll always stay

But I can't help it, God made me this way

And I know that there'll come a day

When I'll ride like a thief on the run

Say goodbye to the things that I've done

And I'll fly like the wind to the sunset

Just like a cowboy should do

Just like a cowboy should do

Just like a cowboy should do
