Lyrics

[00:16.93] I told you 'bout living in the U.S. of A.
[00:20.71] Don't you know that I'm a gangster of love
[00:24.91] Let me tell you people that I found a new way
[00:28.31] And I'm tired of all this talk about love
[00:32.64] And the same old story with a new set of words
[00:36.46] About the good and the bad and the poor
[00:40.59] And the times keep on changin
[00:42.70] So I'm keepin' on top
[00:44.37] Of every fat cat who walks through my door
[00:48.49] I'm a space cowboy
[00:52.95] Bet you weren't ready for that
[00:56.71] I'm a space cowboy
[01:01.16] I'm sure you know where it's at
[01:03.80] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[01:32.34] I was born on this rock
[01:34.21] And I've been travelin' through space
[01:36.20] Since the moment I first realized
[01:39.85] What all you fast talkin' cats would do if you could
[01:43.57] You know, I'm ready for the final surprise
[01:47.82] There ain't no way around it
[01:49.69] Ain't nothing to say
[01:51.65] That's gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
[01:55.56] All the prayers and surveyors
[01:57.54] Keep the whole place uptight
[01:59.34] While it keeps on gettin' darker outside
[02:03.43] I'm a space cowboy
[02:07.41] Bet you weren't ready for that
[02:11.39] I'm a space cowboy
[02:15.88] I'm sure you know where it's at
[02:18.98] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[03:43.36] I see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
[03:47.20] The boys in the military shirts
[03:50.70] I keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
[03:52.80] And I don't let my friends get hurt
[03:58.63] All you back room schemers, small trip dreamers
[04:02.44] Better find something new to say
[04:06.20] Cause you're the same old story
[04:08.13] It's the same old crime
[04:10.20] And you got some heavy dues to pay
[04:14.30] I'm a space cowboy
[04:18.19] Bet you weren't ready for that
[04:22.16] I'm a space cowboy
[04:26.36] I'm sure you know where it's at
[04:29.20] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
