English Cowboy
I see a Cowboy walking down the street…
He looks like he’s a stranger here, from a place I have never been.
He tips his hat at the ladies and they are all smiling back at him.
If I bought myself a cowboy hat, they still would never smile at me.
Because I’m an English man in England,
I cannot stand out from the crowd;
But the Cowboy walking down this London street,
He ain’t looking like no clown.
He owns his style and he walks so proud;
That is something I could never do.
In this place I am always lost, somehow.
Maybe if I went to his land, I could find myself in tune.
He’s heading for his hometown;
I’m walking out on mine.
I see him at the airport,
Waving all those smiling ladies goodbye.
When we land over in his land,
He just becomes the same as all the rest.
I walk into the nearest bar and order myself a drink…
Oh my God! I love your accent!
I’m a stranger in a stranger town
And I feel as if I’m right at home.
I’m so glad I left those London streets;
Maybe I could have stayed, but sometimes you just have to go…

"You want to find a pretty place you can stay.
Yeah you just don't want to live in L.A.
I just wanna be where the sun shines down.
I just wanna be where the sun shines down...
I wanna leave when it gets ugly and cold.
I wanna leave but I got nowhere to go...
I just wanna be where the sun shines down.
Yeah!
I just wanna be where the sun shines down,
On a beautiful life.
I just wanna find a beautiful life.
I wanna be where the sun shines down.
I just wanna find a beautiful life.
I don't care where we go,
I don't care what we do...
You wanna find a place you don't have to hide.
You say you're happy just to be alive!...
I just wanna be where the sun shines down,
I just wanna be where the sun shines down,
I just wanna be where the sun shines down,
On a beautiful life.
I just wanna find a beautiful life..."
