(Bon Jovi - from the album "Slippery When Wet")

It's all the same, only the names will change

Everyday it seems we're wasted away

Another place where the faces are so cold

I drive all night

Just to {...a wise ass} get back home

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride {I ride}

{Uh, wanted} I'm wanted {yah! dead or alive} dead or alive

Wanted dead or alive {yah! this song sucks}

{...man this has got to be boring}

Sometimes I sleep {uh oh, here we go again},

Sometimes it's not {man, give it a rest} for days

And people {you suck} I meet always go their separate ways

Sometimes I tell the day

By the bottle that you drink

And times when you're alone {I told ya you suck} all you do is think

Cause I'm a cowboy {no you're a dick},

on a steel horse I ride {bah}

I'm wanted {yah!} dead or alive

Wanted {wanted} dead or alive

{...uh check out that, check out that that...}

{check out this... }

Cause I'm a cowboy,

on a steel horse I ride {yeah ride this you faggot}

I'm wanted dead or alive

{yeah, gimme a gun I'll fuckin shoot you}

Well I walk the streets {what are you a prostitute?},

a loaded six string on my back

{yeah I bet you got something else on your back}

I play for keeps {yah!},

'cause I might not make it back {make it back}

I been everywhere {everywhere},

still I'm standing tall {standing tall, yeah yeah}

I've seen a million faces

And I've rocked them all

{yeah I'll fuckin rock you, you dick}

I'm a cowboy {...a cowboy}, on a steel horse I ride

{...I'll steel horse your lucky faggot}

I'm wanted {wanted} dead or alive {dead or alive}

Cause I'm a cowboy {cowboy},

I got the night on my side {night on my side}

I'm wanted {wanted} dead or alive, and all right {yeah!}

Dead or alive

Still I try {don't try me man}

Dead or alive {alive}

Dead or alive

{John man give me a gun} Dead or alive

Dead or alive, yeah {yeah}

{Oh man it's over already, we'll miss you. We'd like to }

{personally thank Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora for their }

{uh, effort in this project, and personally I've got a }

{contract out on them for 5,000 dollars, so um I gotta go.}
