So you want to be a cowboy
Well you know it's more that just a ride
Guess you got to know the real thing
If you're gonna know the other side
Ain't nobody riding shotgun in the world tonight
And when you spit, you better mean it
You got to make 'em all believe it
If you're gonna be the one, whoa
Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger but only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will curse you, baby
And you can go to war but only if you have to
It's only if you have to
So you want to be the big time
Some people gonna drag you down
There's no living in the backseat
If you're gonna drive through town
And when you pray for independence
Boy, you better stand your ground
You got to give it all you got now
Or you might get shot down
Fight hard until the battle is won
Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger but only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will curse you, baby
And you can go to war but only if you have to
It's only if you have to, oh yeah yeah yeah
Well, you know that I been through it
I got the scars to prove it
Fight hard and the battle is yours, whoa
Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger but only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will curse you, baby
And you can go to war but only if you have to
It's only if you have to
Stick to your guns, oh
Stick to your guns, oh
So you want to be a cowboy
Well you know it's more that just a ride
Guess you got to know the real thing
If you're gonna know the other side
