Wanted Dead Or Alive Bon Jovi Lyrics
It’s all the same, only the names will change
Every day, it seems we’re wastin’ away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I’d 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 alone, well, 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, I’m a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted (wanted), dead or alive
And I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back
I play for keeps ’cause I might not make it back
I’ve been everywhere, still I’m standing tall
I’ve seen a million faces and I’ve rocked them all

‘Cause I’m a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted (wanted), dead or alive
‘Cause I’m a cowboy
I got the night on my side
And I’m wanted (wanted), dead or alive
And I ride (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
