Cowboys & Crooks Lyrics

a young boy dreams
of playing in the streets

he pretends to be asleep
but he's been waiting for a week
with open eyes he prays
his mom got him a gun
a gun she gave her son
no introductions to be made
by his heroes he is saved

I shot a man
because I can
cause I'm a man

man or boy?

a young boy feeds
the slaying in the streets
face to face and eye to eye
last to move's the first to die
he picked a side, but changed his mind
his gun for hire he feeds the fire

I shot a man
because I can
cause I'm a man

our hero he has turned
his lesson he hath learned
a boy becomes a man
but the man became a boy
man or boy?

I shot a man
because I can
cause I'm a man

I shot a man
I shot a man
because I can

bang bang
