I told you bout living in the u.s. of a.
Dont you know that Im a gangster of love
Let me tell you people that I found a new way
And Im tired of all this talk about love
And the same old story with a new set of words
About the good and the bad and the poor
And the times keep on changin
So Im keepin on top
Of every fat cat who walks through my door

Im a space cowboy
Bet you werent ready for that
Im a space cowboy
Im sure you know where its at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I was born on this rock
And Ive been travelin through space
Since the moment I first realized
What all you fast talkin cats would do if you could
You know, Im ready for the final surprise
There aint no way around it
Aint nothing to say
Thats gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
All the prayers and surveyors
Keep the whole place uptight
While it keeps on gettin darker outside

Im a space cowboy
Bet you werent ready for that
Im a space cowboy
Im sure you know where its at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
The boys in the military shirts
I keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
And I dont let my friends get hurt
All you back room schemers, small trip dreamers
Better find something new to say
Cause youre the same old story
Its the same old crime
And you got some heavy dues to pay

Im a space cowboy
Bet you werent ready for that
Im a space cowboy
Im sure you know where its at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
