When I was six, I had 245s Strapped to my hips, wanted dead or alive
And all of the kids thought that I was a good guy at heart
When I got to high school, not much really changed
I ran from the cops in my soaked up Mustang
And all of the girls thought that I was a good guy at heart
And I'd ride
Like a thief on the run
And I'd hide
From the things that I've done
And I'd fly
Like the wind to the sunset
Just like a cowboy should do
Just like a cowboy should do
Girl, I will love you the best that I can
But you need to know that I am what I am
And I'm not a bad guy, but I'm not a good guy at heart
And I'd ride
Like a thief on the run
Say goodbye
To the things that I've done
And I'll fly
Like the wind to the sunset
Just like a cowboy should do
Just like a cowboy should do
Wish I could tell you that I'll always stay
But I can't help that God made me this way
And I know that there'll come a day
When I'll ride
Like a thief on the run
Say goodbye
To the things that I've done






And I'll fly
Like the wind to the sunset
Just like a cowboy should do
Just like a cowboy should do
Just like a cowboy should do
Just like a cowboy should do
Just like a cowboy should do
