“Wanted Dead or Alive” Bon Jovi Lyrics

It’s all the same, only the names will change
Every day it seems we’re wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I’d drive all night just to get back home

I’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it’s not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you’re alone all you do is think

I’m a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted, wanted, dead or alive
Wanted (wanted) dead or alive

Oh and I ride!

I’m a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted (wanted) dead or alive

And I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back
I play for keeps, ’cause I might not make it back
I’ve been everywhere, and still I’m standing tall
I’ve seen a million faces and I’ve rocked them all

‘Cause I’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted dead or alive
‘Cause I’m a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I’m wanted dead or alive
And I ride dead or alive
I still drive, dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive

Lyrical Diary: “Wanted Dead or Alive” Bon Jovi Lyrics

“Wanted Dead Or Alive” Bon Jovi Lyrics. Writer(s): John Bon Jovi

Album may be called “Wanted Dead Or Alive.” The band intended to make the album’s cover Western-style but decided against it. The single’s cover has that look.
Jon Bon Jovi said “Turn the Page” inspired him. 1985 tour-bus music for Bon Jovi. This song is about a rock singer who travels like a cowboy.
Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora’s acoustic performance at the 1989 MTV VMAs sparked the Unplugged series.

“Young Guns II” (1990) producers intended to use this song, but its words didn’t match. Jon Bon Jovi went to the film set and played many pieces, including “Blaze Of Glory,” which was approved.
