Modern Day Cowboy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stormy night under jet black skies
Billy pulls into town
Thunder rolled and the lightning bolts
Come crashin' to the ground

Cold as ice, hard as stone
As he walks into the room
With another man who was feeling the same way
All hell's breakin' loose

[Pre-Chorus]
Bang bang, shoot 'em up
Bang bang, blow you away

[Chorus]
It's a showdown in the no man's land
For the cowboy (cowboy) of the modern day
Come on!
Sundown, don't be hangin' 'round
'Cause the cowboy (cowboy) will blow you away, yeah

[Verse 2]
Al Capone and Bad Boy Jones
On the wrong side of the law
Johnny D and his company
Always first to the draw

Gangster lean, feelin' so mean
Tryin' to take more than their share
'Cause all they saw was ruling it all
The scent of blood was in the air

[Pre-Chorus]
Bang bang, shoot 'em up
Bang bang, blow you away

[Chorus]
It's a showdown in the no man's land
For the cowboy (cowboy) of the modern day
Come on!
Sundown, don't be hangin' 'round
'Cause the cowboy (cowboy) will blow you away

[Verse 3]
So here we are and we've come this far
But it's only getting worse
Foreign lands with their terrorist demands
Only cause the good to hurt

The USA, the USSR
With their six-guns to their side
I see the message written on the wall
Too much anger deep inside

[Pre-Chorus]
Bang bang, I'll shoot 'em up
Bang bang, blow you away

[Chorus]
It's a showdown in the no man's land
For the cowboy (cowboy) of the modern day
Ah, come on!
Sundown, don't be hangin' 'round
'Cause the cowboy (cowboy) will blow you away

It's a showdown
