You've been living in this big town
Just a little too long now
You've been looking for a cowboy to take you away
From this high-rise citified life

You've been looking for a big change
Just a little bit more space
You've been waiting on some
Bighearted John Wayne to pick you up
And ride you away

Welcome to the wild wild west
Let your heart run like an outlaw
Ride into a new sunset
Don't you think that it's time that we got lost
In a big sky, big life, you and I could ride
Into the wild wild west

Well, forget about the Fool's Gold
Yeah, and that 9 to 5 freak show
On the back of a strong Palomino, baby
We could go for mile, and mile, and miles

Chorus

Oh, if it's freedom you've been missing
Baby, take my hand

Welcome to the wild wild west

Ride into a new sunset

In a big sky, big life, you and I could ride
Into the wild wild west
Let your heart run like an outlaw
Ride into a new sunset
Don't you think that it's time that we got lost
