lyrics

LYRICS:
Awake inside the dead of the night
Just the cold of the rain I feel
Drivin' down, street after street
In my Unicorn of Steel
I ain't nobody else or a place to call my home
I feel just like a storekeeper in the ancient days of Rome

Let me lasso you in for a Cowboy Ride
(For a Cowboy Ride)
The fastest gun in the duel will never die
(Never die)
Just a guitar and a dream and a will to survive
(Will to survive)
And that's the truth, it ain't no lie
(Yes, it is)

Finally back on the farm, but all the cows dropped dead
You know it's time like these I think back to what my father said
He said, "Cowboys like us are a dying breed"
(No, he never did)
I'm pretty sure he said it, and you weren't there when he did

Let me lasso you in for a Cowboy Ride
(For a Cowboy Ride)
The fastest gun in the duel will never die
(Never die)
Just a guitar and a dream and a will to survive
(Will to survive)
And that's the truth, it ain't no lie
(Yes, it is)

Now it's time for the duel, when the stranger comes to town
If this is the only home I got, I'll be an outlaw 'til I'm found
When I --
(In the Old West they never dueled, strangers never came to town)
And then I --
(But what would you know? You've lived your life on suburban ground)
Hey --

(Brett Michaels, Bon Jovi, Kid Rock, what do you wanna show me
Not from the South, not from the West
You might as well be from Budapest.
Now get off your horse, take off your hat
And leave your boots ...)

about

The KMX Band Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The KMX Band is the only Metal band in history to have a singer that almost always wears the same shirt. It is also the only band in the Philadelphia area in which a former drummer once urinated on the couch of another former drummer.
But perhaps more importantly, The KMX Band is the only Traditional Metal band in the world that will sing about robots, tigers, demons and chocolate. ... more
