I just hope that your love knows, what this life is all about
’cause I’m in the same position as when I started out.
Now I know there’re folk in hospital that are far worse than me,
Oh, but that don’t mean to much when my spirit don’t feel free
Yes I’m crying, yes I’m crying, hey i’m crying, hey I’m crying
Well the bouquet rocks my senses, and the blues they roll my mind,
and I’m in a strange condition and my head is hard to find.
And I just keep on searching, trying to seek my goal, and I just
keep on studying, Oh trying to find a road.
And I’m crying, and I’m crying, Hey I’m crying, hey I’m crying
Wait for the sunshine, look at the rain, look at my future all
seem the same. Hard to distinguish right from the wrong, look at
my troubles coming on strong.
Only God knows, oh where my search will end, ’cause a freak ain’t
got no money and a pauper has no friends, and there ain’t no use
in worrying and there ain’t no use in dying, oh, no use testifying
and there ain’t none you could buy.
And I’m crying, and I’m crying, hey I’m crying, oh, I’m crying
Only God knows where my search will end, cause a freak don’t have
no money and a pauper has no friends, and there ain’t no use testifying,
and there ain’t no use in lying,
And I’m crying, and I’m crying, hey I’m crying, oh, I’m crying
I told you ’bout living in the U.S. of A.
Don’t you know that I’m a gangster of love
Let me tell you people that I found a new way
And I’m tired of all this talk about love
And the same old story with a new set of words
About the good and the bad and the poor
And the times keep on changin’
So I’m keepin’ on top
Of every fat cat who walks through my door
I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I was born on this rock
And I’ve been travelin’ through space
Since the moment I first realized
What all you fast talkin’ cats would do if you could
You know, I’m ready for the final surprise
There ain’t no way around it
Ain’t nothing to say
That’s gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
All the prayers and surveyors
Keep the whole place uptight
While it keeps on gettin’ darker outside
I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
The boys in the military shirts
I keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
And I don’t let my friends get hurt
All you back room schemers, small trip dreamers
Better find something new to say
Cause you’re the same old story
It’s the same old crime
And you got some heavy dues to pay
I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
