Mesabi Trail

“It's all the same, only the names will change . . .”

… Every day, it seems we're wastin' away. Another place where the faces are so cold, I'd drive all night just to get back home.

I'm a cowboy; on a steel horse I ride. I'm wanted dead or alive; wanted dead or alive.

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days. The people I meet always go their separate ways. Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink, and times when you're alone, well, all you do is think.

I'm a cowboy; on a steel horse I ride. I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive; wanted (wanted), dead or alive.

Oh, and I ride; yeah.

Oh, I'm a cowboy; on a steel horse I ride. I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive.

And I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back. I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back. I've been everywhere, still I'm standing tall. I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all.

'Cause I'm a cowboy; on a steel horse I ride. I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive. 'Cause I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side. And I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive; and I ride (and I ride), dead or alive.

I still drive (I still drive), dead or alive, dead or alive, dead or alive, dead or alive, dead or alive.”

~”Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi
