Is Bon Jovi's "Wanted" For Real?

[picasso]

Its all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems were wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
Id drive all night just to get back home

Chorus:
Im a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
Im wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes its not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when youre all alone all you do is think

Chorus

I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still Im standing tall
Ive seen a million faces an Ive rocked them all

Im a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
Im wanted dead or alive
Im a cowboy, I got the night on my side
Im wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

I never bought it. If he was dead then the stone washed jean mullets would not have gone to see his concerts.

[King Crimson]

i've always thought JBJ probably did sleep and less "sometimes not for days". might be a little puffery for poetic effect there.

but, he's like a regular Kierkegaard with that "being alone, and thinking" thing.

[NormanPride]

I think he really had a steel horse that he rode. And his guitar probably had a gun in it. You guys are reading way too much into this song.

[picasso]

yeah, no mention of all of the boinking going on.

[yermom]

he did "rock them all"

[NormanPride]

He boinked his steel horse? That would be painful.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I play for keeps
