Lyrics
Cosmos is Cosmos ,
and stars are like Suns.
Whiskey's like bourbon ,
you get drunk on rum.
Living is easy ,
and riding is fun.
But you don't your winning,
if never you've won .
chorus
You ramble on ,ramble on ,ramble on,
you Cosmic Cowboy.
You roll along ,roll a long roll along ,
on Cosmic wheels
You've trampled on , trampled on ,trampled on, all that dared love you
bridge ( music only first time )
Eat cactus ,eat mushrooms ,
and drink and have fun.
Raise Hell for today ,
for tomorrow might come.
You get what what you ask for,
you may not get none.
You get what you need ,
Lord you pray you get some.
chorus
bridge (with words)
Oh but don't you look back
Listen up people ,
to what I have said.
You're living today ,
but tomorrow you're dead.
Listen up children ,
for it's clear as a bell.
You're two steps from Heaven ,
but your footprint's in Hell.
chorus
bridge ( extended lyrics )
Oh but don't you look back.
I say no oh Hell no ,don't look back
