[Verse]
Ride cowboy ride
Through the back door to heaven
To the other side
I want to know the danger of a kiss
At midnight
Ride, cowboy, ride
Yeah, I learn my lesson
Here's a story to tell
So I made my confession
In this sleazy motel
I could be the romantic
I could try my best lines
But ain't got the money
And we ain't got the time
Ride, cowboy, ride
Through the back door to heaven to the other side
I want to know the danger of a kiss
At midnight. Ride cowboy ride
So you want to be a cowboy
Ride cowboy, ride
You want to be a big shot
Baby, come on
Ride, ride, ride
