(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.

[REPEAT 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.
