Wanted Dead Or Alive
The Hit Nation Lyrics

It's all the same, only the names will change
No matter where we go or what we do, life seems to stay the same, with only the details changing.

Everyday, it seems we're wastin' away
Each day we spend on this Earth seems to drain more life out of us, leaving us with less and less energy.

Another place where the faces are so cold
Every new location we go to, the people there seem distant and uninviting, making it hard to connect with them.

I drive all night just to get back home
The only escape from the cold, unfamiliar faces is to drive through the night back to the place we consider home.

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
The artist sees themselves as a rough and tough outlaw horserider who can brave any challenge.

I'm wanted dead or alive
The singer feels like they have a target on their back, whether it's because of their daring nature or just bad luck.

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
The singer's energy level and mood vary greatly, with some days feeling productive and alive and others just feeling exhausted and sluggish.

The people I meet always go their separate ways
No matter how many people the artist meets, they always seem to go their own separate paths and the artist is left alone once again.

Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink
Days blur together so much that one of the only indicators of time is the amount and type of alcohol consumed.

And times when you're all alone all you do is think
When the artist is alone, they are left with their own thoughts and regrets, which they can't seem to shake off.

I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back
The singer is constantly carrying their guitar, a symbol of their passion and talent.

I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back
The artist puts everything into their music because they don't know if they'll survive long enough to make it big.

I been everywhere, still, I'm standing tall
Despite all the places the singer has gone and all the struggles they've faced, they are still strong and resilient.

I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all
The singer has gained a lot of experience performing for all different types of people, and despite the challenges, they've always been able to entertain and impress.

I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
The singer is still fearless and bold, facing the dangers of the night without fear.

And I ride, dead or alive
No matter what happens next, the artist is going to keep moving forward, accepting whatever fate might come their way.
