I wanna be a cowboy
So I can run away from here
Got no idea where I'll end up
But I know I can't stay here
My hair is reaching for my shoulders
My body's running out of steam
When desperation pulls me closer
And my eyes glow green
Right from the start (right from the start)
You were right for the part (right for the part)
All this (all this)
Left you in the dark
Now I'm on my knees begging, baby
Let me go
(Now I know)
I wanna be a cowboy (I wanna be a cowboy)
So I can run away from here
Got no idea where I'll end up (ah)
But I know I can't stay here (oh)
I wanna be a free bird (I wanna be a free bird)
So I can forget you for good (for good)
I wanna ride away from all this (mmm)
But I know I'll die right here
Half as bad as we were
Compromise where I can
And where I can't
I get overwhelmed every day
I don't know where I'll end up
But I know I cannot stay
I wanna be a cowboy (I wanna be)
So I can run away from here (so I can run)
Got no idea where I'll end up (where I'll end up)
But I know I can't stay here (I know)
I wanna be a free bird
So I can forget you for good
I wanna ride away from all this (right here)
But I know I'll die right here
