So you want to be a cowboy
  Well you know it's more that just a ride
  Guess you got to know the real thing
  If you want to know the other side
  Ain't nobody riding shotgun
  In this world tonight
    And when you spit, you better mean it
  You got to make 'em all believe it
  If you're gonna be the one
    Stick to your gun
  Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
  You can go for the trigger
  But only if you have to
  Aim from the heart
  Some will love and some will course you, baby
  And you can go to war
  But only if you have to
  It's only if you have to
    So you want to be the big time
  Some people have to drag you down
  There's no living in the backseat
  If you're gonna drive through town
  And when you pray for independence
  Boy, you better stand your ground
    You got to give it all you got now
  Or you might get shot down
  Fight hard until the battle is won
    Stick to your gun
  Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
  You can go for the trigger
  But only if you have to
  Aim from the heart
  Some will love and some will course you, baby
  And you can go to war
  But only if you have to
  But only if you have to
    [Solo]
    Well, you know that I been through it
  I got the scars to prove it
  Fight hard and the Battle is yours
    Stick to your gun
  Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
  You can go for the trigger
  But only if you have to
  Aim from the heart
  Some will love and some will course you, baby
  And you can go to war
  But only if you have to
  It's only if you have to
    But stick to your guns
