Tesla - Modern Day Cowboy

Artist: Tesla
Song: Modern Day Cowboy
Album: Mechanical Resonance
Track: #7

Lyrics:
Stormy night under jet black skies, Billy pulls into town
the thunder rolled and the lightning bolts come crashin' to the ground
Cold as ice, hard as stone, as he walks into the room
With another man who was feeling the same way, all hell's breakin' loose

Bang bang, shoot 'em up, bang bang, blow you away

[Chorus:]
It's a showdown in the no man's land, for the cowboy of the modern day
Come sundown, don't be hangin' round, 'cos the cowboy'll blow you away

Al Capone and the Bad Boy Jones, on the wrong side of the law
Johnny D and his company, always first to the draw,
Gangster lean, feelin' so mean, try to take more than their share
'Cos all they saw was ruling it all, the scent of blood was in the air

[Chorus]

[Solo]

So here we are and we've come this far, but it's only getting worse
Foreign lands with their terrorist demands, only cause the good to hurt
The U.S.A., the U.S.S.R., with their six-guns at their side
I see the message, written on the wall, too much anger deep inside

Bang bang, shoot 'em up, bang bang, blow you away

[Chorus]

It's a showdown!

THIS SONG AND ITS LYRICS DONT BELONG TO ME IN ANY WAY. I JUST UPLOADED IT FOR YOU GUYS TO LISTEN TO AND ENJOY IT. THIS SONG BELONGS TO TESLA FROM THEIR DEBUT ALBUM MECHANICAL RESONANCE 1986.

Has anyone noticed that of all other types of music, Metal is the only music that appeared and disappeared within twenty years. I listen to heavier stuff like Maiden and Dio, but Tesla was good too. I think the reason it disappeared is because those that push our psyche don't want us to think. Metal made you think. It is the only type of music that will talk about anything except love. If I want a love song, I'll listen to anything else. Metal Rules!! Up the Irons!!

i was a teenager during the mid 80s and played the drums in my basement. would just throw on my walkman, before ipods!, and just jam to these great rock tunes. i wish i could do that now!

[Moolz]

@bart5676 Agreed. I looked at them as the modern day Eagles back then. Tasteful licks, great lyrics, good music.
