I told you 'bout living in the U.S. of A.Don't you know that I'm a gangster of loveLet me tell you people that I found a new wayAnd I'm tired of all this talk about loveAnd the same old story with a new set of wordsAbout the good and the bad and the poorAnd the times keep on changin'So I'm keepin' on topOf every fat cat who walks through my door
I'm a space cowboyBet you weren't ready for thatI'm a space cowboyI'm sure you know where it's atYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I was born on this rockAnd I've been travelin' through spaceSince the moment I first realizedWhat all you fast talkin' cats would do if you couldYou know, I'm ready for the final surpriseThere ain't no way around itAin't nothing to sayThat's gonna satisfy my soul deep insideAll the prayers and surveyorsKeep the whole place uptightWhile it keeps on gettin' darker outside
I'm a space cowboyBet you weren't ready for thatI'm a space cowboyI'm sure you know where it's atYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn aroundsThe boys in the military shirtsI keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skiesAnd I don't let my friends get hurtAll you back room schemers, small trip dreamersBetter find something new to sayCause you're the same old storyIt's the same old crimeAnd you got some heavy dues to pay
I'm a space cowboyBet you weren't ready for thatI'm a space cowboyI'm sure you know where it's atYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
