Douglas Horne - Space Cowboy lyrics

I used to live on the earth for all that it's worth Which isn't very much these days I abandoned the planet, when I hardly could stand it With all the garbage in the oceans and the acid rain Set out for adventure, for a life in space Gallop through the galaxy at breakneck pace This stellar corral, this great big place is my home I'm a space cowboy, space cowboy, ooh ooh ooh I'm a space cowboy, space cowboy, ooh ooh ooh Wrangling stars in a rodeo Of galaxies, nowhere to go But the event horizon of a big black hole Ain't got no horse or trigger, but from where I am I figure A horsey wouldn't do so well Tryin' to run from here to the sun In between the rings of Saturn, or a meteor belt Don't own a bandana or a pair of chaps I fasten up my spacesuit with velcro snaps My helmet don't accommodate a wide brim hat, oh no I'm a space cowboy, space cowboy, ooh ooh ooh I'm a space cowboy, space cowboy, ooh ooh ooh Wrangling stars in a rodeo Of galaxies, nowhere to go But the event horizon of a big black hole Back in the saddle with the boosters on They say cowboys sing the saddest songs Down there it's true, but here's the thing In space, no one can hear you sing I'm a space cowboy, space cowboy, ooh ooh ooh I'm a space cowboy, space cowboy, ooh ooh ooh Wrangling stars in a rodeo Of galaxies, nowhere to go But the event horizon of a big black hole
