Lyrics

Wish I was, yeah, a Wild West Hero 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, 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 live 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, 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 live to be free Ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be Oh, I wish I was Oh, a Wild West Hero I wish I was Oh, a Wild West Hero Oh, I wish I was Oh, a Wild West Hero Wish I was Oh, a Wild West Hero Wish I was a Wild West Hero
