Code of the West

All my life I've been a cowboy in my heart
 Every western hero on the screen's
 Been with me from the start
 Ridin' high and showin' me the way
 And they've been there with me through my toughest times
 We'd ride out to the boundries but we never crossed those lines
 And that's a code that I'm still livin' by today
 The code of the west was black and white
 Good guys and the bad
 You would always know who's wrong or right
 By the color of their hat
 Now there aren't so many happy trails
 I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see
 You don't go off into the sunset
 And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea
 And it's good to see the bad guys on the run
 While our modern day heroes show 'em how the west was won
 On their trail 'til they bring the last one down
 We could use a few more cowboys here today
 A few more days of reckoning and a lot more hell to pay
 Where that debt is owed there ain't no middle ground
 The code of the west was black and white
 The good guys and the bad
 You would always know who's wrong or right
 By the color of their hat
 Now there aren't so many happy trails
 I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see
 You don't go off into the sunset
 And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea
 The code of the west was black and white
 The good guys and the bad
 You would always know who's wrong and who was right
 By the color of their hat
 Now there aren't so many happy trails
 I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see
 You don't go off into the sunset
 And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea
 All my life I've been a cowboy in my heart
