When I was six, I had 245s Strapped to my hips, wanted dead or aliveAnd all of the kids thought that I was a good guy at heartWhen I got to high school, not much really changedI ran from the cops in my soaked up MustangAnd all of the girls thought that I was a good guy at heartAnd I'd rideLike a thief on the runAnd I'd hideFrom the things that I've doneAnd I'd flyLike the wind to the sunsetJust like a cowboy should doJust like a cowboy should doGirl, I will love you the best that I canBut you need to know that I am what I amAnd I'm not a bad guy, but I'm not a good guy at heartAnd I'd rideLike a thief on the runSay goodbyeTo the things that I've doneAnd I'll flyLike the wind to the sunsetJust like a cowboy should doJust like a cowboy should doWish I could tell you that I'll always stayBut I can't help that God made me this wayAnd I know that there'll come a dayWhen I'll rideLike a thief on the runSay goodbyeTo the things that I've doneAnd I'll flyLike the wind to the sunsetJust like a cowboy should doJust like a cowboy should doJust like a cowboy should doJust like a cowboy should doJust like a cowboy should do
