Wild West Hero Songtext

von Electric Light Orchestra

(Wish I was... a wild west hero)

Sometimes, I look up high
And then I think there might
Just be a better life
Away from all we know
That's where I want to go
Out on the wild side
And I wish I was (oh, oh, oh, oh)
A wild west hero.

Chorus:
Ride the range all the day
Till the first fading light
Be with my western girl
Round the fire, oh so bright
I'd be the Indians' friend
Let them live to be free
Riding in to the sunset
I wish I could be.

I'd ride the desert sands
And through the prairie lands
Trying to do what's right
The folks would come to me
They'd say "We need you here"
I'd stay for the night
Oh, I wish I was (oh, oh, oh, oh)
A wild west hero.

(chorus)

Oh, I wish I was (oh, oh, oh, oh)
A wild west hero
I wish I was (oh, oh, oh, oh)
A wild west hero
Oh, I wish I was (oh, oh, oh, oh)
A wild west hero
Wish I was (oh, oh, oh, oh)
A wild west hero.

Wish I was... a wild west hero.
