Sometimes I look up high And then I think there might, Just be a better life Away from all we know That's where I wanna go Out on the wild side, And I wish I was Oh oh oh oh, a wild west hero. Ride the range all the day Till the first fading light Be with my western girl Round the fire oh so bright I'd be the indians' friend Let them love to be free Ridin' into the sunset I wish I could be. I'd ride the desert sands And through the prairie lands Tryin' to do what's right The folks would come to me They'd say we need you here I'd stay there for the night, Oh I wish I was Oh oh oh oh, a wild west hero Ride the range all the day Till the first fading light Be with my western girl Round the fire oh so bright I'd be the indians' friend Let them love to be free Ridin' into the sunset I wish I could be.
