Steve Miller Band - Space Cowboy lyrics

I told you 'bout living in the US 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 bat cat who walks through my door

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 see the showdowns, 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
