Space Cowboy — текст песни (Steve Miller Band)

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
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
