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
