[Verse 1]
So you want to be a cowboy
Well you know it's more than just a ride
Guess you got to know the real thing
If you want to know the other side
Ain't nobody riding shotgun
In this world tonight
And when you spit, you better mean it
You got to make them all believe it
If you're going to be the one
[Chorus]
Stick to your gun
Ain't nobody going to 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
[Verse 2]
So you want to be the big time
Some people have to drag you down
There's no living in the backseat
If you're going to 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
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Well, you know that I been through it
I got the scars to prove it
Fight hard and the Battle is yours
[Chorus]
[Outro]
But stick to your guns
So you want to be a cowboy
Well you know it's more than just a ride
Guess you got to know the real thing
If you want to know the other side
Ain't nobody riding shotgun
In this world tonight
And when you spit, you better mean it
You got to make them all believe it
If you're going to be the one
[Chorus]
Stick to your gun
Ain't nobody going to 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
[Verse 2]
So you want to be the big time
Some people have to drag you down
There's no living in the backseat
If you're going to 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
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Well, you know that I been through it
I got the scars to prove it
Fight hard and the Battle is yours
[Chorus]
[Outro]
But stick to your guns
