Been on the run

Searching for the meaning in the desert sun

Inside my mind

A wasteland with a vision of a blazing sky

I dream of danger, silver and gold

A crystal cowboy with a wandering soul

I see the future, it's me or him

A change is comin' and it's time to sink or swim

Too many days fadin' away, oh

It's time to take it by the reins, woah

I've paid the price, once or twice, oh

In this life you shoot your shot!

Baby, watch me pull the trigger

I'm at a crossroad

Down by the river at the county line

Out in the distance

The air is dancing and it's calling out this time

But then!

I see a figure

I see a man

Was he a preacher or was he damned?

He reached out toward me, out with his hand

He said"you gotta grab life by the bootstraps while you can"

Too many days fadin' away, oh

It's time to take it by the reins, woah

I've paid the price, once or twice, oh

In this life you shoot your shot

It's the only one you got

Baby, watch me pull the trigger
