It's probably one of my favorites from that album. It sucked me in before any of the slower, more thoughtful (or depressing) songs did. It rocks.
On the down side it has one of the more cringe worthy lyrics in the Bon Jovi canon. "Give me something for the pain when I feel I'm danglin from a hang-mans noose" (that's close enough anyway)
That takes the cowboy thing way over the line in my opinion. However, once I got past those lyrics I found I could enjoy the song. These days I don't even cringe when I hear them - I just enjoy the music.
