D Bm F# G
When I was six, I had two forty- fives
D Bm F# G
Strapped to my hips, wanted dead or a- live
D Bm F# G
And all of the kids thought that I was a good guy at heart
D Bm F# G
When I got to high school, not much really changed
D Bm F# G
I ran from the cops in my souped-up Mus- tang
D Bm F# G
And all of the girls thought that I was a good guy at heart
[Chorus]
G D
And I'd ride like a thief on the run
G Bm
And I'd hide from the things that I'd done
G D
And I'd fly like the wind to the sunset
G D
Just like a cowboy should do
G D
Just like a cowboy should do
[Inst]
Bm F# G D Bm F# G
D Bm F# G
Girl, I will love you the best that I can
D Bm F# G
But you need to know that I am what I am
D Bm F# D
I'm not a bad guy but I'm not a good guy at heart
[Chorus]
G D
And I'll ride like a thief on the run
G Bm
Say good- bye to the things that I've done
G D
And I'll fly like the wind to the sunset
G D
Just like a cowboy should do
G D
Just like a cowboy should do
A G
Wish I could tell you that I'll always stay
A G
But I can't help that God made me this way
A Bm G D
I know that there'll come a day
[Chorus]
G D
And I'll ride like a thief on the run
G Bm
Say good- bye to the things that I've done
G D
And I'll fly like the wind to the sunset
G D
Just like a cowboy should do
G D
Just like a cowboy should do
G D
Just like a cowboy should do
