I need my sweet loving woman
I need to get myself a gun
Got my mojo running
That's what gets me high
Gives me fun

Bathe me in a river of gold
Far in the wide wild west
Steer these fours and fire up my wheels
Baptized in blood and glass

A smile that turns metal into gold
Love that keeps me out from the cold
I'm like a Steppenwolf, and I'm running, running wild and I'm running alone

Let me be your lover
Let me be your man
Wanna be a snake coiled around your neck
Honey, I'm your devil-man
I ain't got no money
And I don't look out to your money
But I need my woman
Like I need my blues in my veins

A smile that turns metal into gold
Love that keeps me out from the cold
I'm like a Steppenwolf, and I'm running, running wild and I'm running alone

Call me a stepping stone
Call me a vampire man
I ain't got no need to sell my soul
Can't you understand?
I put a spell upon you, make you call at me
If you call my name if you mess with me

A smile that turns metal into gold
Love that keeps me out from the cold
I'm like a Steppenwolf, and I'm running, running wild and I'm running alone

In the dead of the night
When I close my eyes
Be my shoulder to lean on
Ask you to be my bride

Left my family home
I didn't learn any sense to age
Drifting high and low
I've found the devil on the way

A smile that turns metal into gold
Love that keeps me out from the cold
I'm like a Steppenwolf, and I'm running, running wild and I'm running alone
