I've lived in lonely cities I've crossed deserts on camel back And I've filled the halls of folklore with things I'd rather we forget I could sweep you off the street so saying this is goddamn tough But this town might be big enough See, I reckon what you're saying But this dog's run every course I've roamed without my boots on I've raced without my horse And then I ate my horse's meat straight from my horse's bones 'Cause this dog Must roam alone You could shoot me in the mountains In the cold fat rain (We could do it in the countryside As we walk the plain) It wouldn't give us any closure All cowboys need to trust That this town might be big enough For both of us Ah Ah Ah Ah Aah Ah Aah Well, I'd be a doggamn liar If I said this ain't a lonely town And what I wouldn't give To have a friend around We could trade in all our silver bullets And buy a patch of dust This town might just be big enough For all of us Ah Ah Everybody! This town! This world! Are you big enough? From Australia (ah) to America And Russia and China All of Asia Let me out Europe and Great Britain Oh Canada In Croatia and Serbia Kenya get it India It's serious in Syria Believe in us Bolivia We're Ghana be big enough For Africa, South Africa South Korea, North Korea Algeria, Nigeria Antarctica, Around the Equator Cuba, Indonesia Jamaica, we'll take ya To Florida and catch you later I'll catch you later Christianity, Islam, Judaism Let me out Are you big enough?
