Space Cowboy Lyrics

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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/space-cowboy-lyrics-steve-miller-band.html ] 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
