| Lyrics: | (Steve Miller and Ben Sidran)
I told you 'bout living in the U.S. of A.
Don't you know that
I'm a gangster of 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 every fat cat
who walks through 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 travelin' 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 nothing to say
That's gonna satisfy my soul
deep inside
All the prayers and surveyors
Keep the whole place uptight
While it keeps on
gettin' 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 see the show
downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
The boys in the military shirts
I keep my
eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
And I don't let my friends get hurt
All you back
room schemers, small trip dreamers
Better find something new to say
Cause you're the same
old story
It's the same old 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 |
