Hope I don't wake you tonight
But the boy knows when the money's tight
Walking around under neon lights
Find me a lover if the money's right

I've been living like a midnight cowboy
Showing it off to the cruisers eyes
I've been living like a midnight cowboy
Dreaming of days of a different life

Some of them I meet at the bars
And some of them want me in their cars
When they take me I close my eyes
Imagine you living the desert life

I've been living like a midnight cowboy
Showing it off to the cruisers eyes
I've been living like a midnight cowboy
Dreaming of days of a different life

I've been, oh I've been
I've been living like a midnight cowboy
I've been, oh I've been
I've been living like a midnight cowboy
I've been, oh I've been
I've been living like a midnight cowboy
I've been, oh I've been
I've been living like a midnight cowboy
I've been, oh I've been
I've been living like a midnight cowboy
