Wild Wild West Lyrics

You've been living in this big town
Just a little too long now
You've been looking for a cowboy to take you away
From this high-rise citified life

You've been looking for a big change
Just a little bit more space
You've been waiting on some bighearted John Wayne
To pick you up and just ride away

Welcome to the wild wild west
Let your heart run like an outlaw, ride into a new sunset
Don't you think it's time we got lost
In a big sky, big life, you and I could ride into the wild, wild west

Well, forget about the fool's gold
Yeah, and that 9 to 5 freak show
On the back of a strong Palomino, baby
We could go for miles and miles and miles

Welcome to the wild wild west
Let your heart run like an outlaw, ride into a new sunset
Don't you think it's time we got lost
In a big sky, big life, you and I could ride into the wild, wild west

Oh, if it's freedom you've been missing
Baby, take my hand

And welcome to the wild wild west
Ride into a new sunset
In a big sky, big life, you and I could ride into the wild, wild west
Let your heart run like an outlaw, ride into a new sunset
Don't you think it's time we got lost

Yeah, the wild, wild west
Welcome to the wild, wild west
Welcome to the wild, wild, wild west
Welcome to the wild, wild west
Welcome to the wild, wild west
