I've told you 'bout livin' in the US of A,
don't you know that I'm against those love?
Let me tell you, people, that I found a new way,
and I'm 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 I'm keepin' on top
of ev'ry bad cat who walks near my door.
I'm a space cowboy,
bet you weren't ready for that.
I'm a space cowboy,
I'm sure you know where it's at.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was born on this rock,
and I've been trav'lin' through space
since the moment I first realized
what all you fast-talkin' cats
would do if you could.
You know I'm ready for the final surprise.
There ain't no way around it,
ain't nothin' to say
that's gonna satisfy my soul deep inside.
All the prayers and surveyors
keep the whole place uptight
while it keeps on getting darker outside.
I'm a space cowboy,
bet you weren't ready for that.
I'm a space cowboy,
I'm sure you know where it's at.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've seen the showdown, slowdowns,
lost and found turn around
to boys in the military shirts.
I keep my eyes on the prize,
on the long-falling skies,
and I don't let my friends get hurt.
All you backroom schemers,
power-trip dreamers
better find something new to say,
'cause you're the same ole story,
it's the same ole crime,
and you got some heavy dues to pay.
I'm a space cowboy,
bet you weren't ready for that.
I'm a space cowboy,
I'm sure you know where it's at.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
