Wild West Hero Lyrics

Electric Light Orchestra Wild West Hero

WILD WEST HERO
   Wish I was, yeah, a wild west hero.
Sometimes i look up high and then I think there might
just be a better life.
Away from all we know, that's where I wanna go,
out on the wild side
and I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
      Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,
      be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.
      I'd be the Indians  friend, let them live to be free,
      ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be.
I'd ride the desert sands and through the prairie lands,
try'n to do what's right.
The folks would come to me, they'd say, we need you here.
I'd stay there for the night.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
      Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,
      be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.
      I'd be the Indians  friend, let them live to be free,
      ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be.
   Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
   Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
   Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
   Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
   Wish I was, o-o-oo-o-o-o-oo, a wild west hero.
