Wild West Hero Lyrics & Chords By Electric Light Orchestra

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,
Oh-oh-oh-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,
Tryin' 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,
Oh-oh-oh-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,
Oh-oh-oh-oh, a Wild West hero
I wish I was,
Oh-oh-oh-oh, a Wild West hero
Oh, I wish I was,
Oh-oh-oh-oh, a Wild West hero
Wish I was,
Oh-oh-oh-oh, a Wild West hero

Wish I was, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, a Wild West hero.
