I wake up in the morning And I raise my weary head I got an old coat for a pillow And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm going Only God knows where I've been I'm a devil on the run A six gun lover A candle in the wind
When you're brought into this world They say you're born in sin Well at least they gave me something I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well they tell me that I'm wanted Yeah I'm a wanted man I'm colt in your stable I'm what Cain was to Abel Mister catch me if you can
Chorus I'm going down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth I'm going down in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood Call me young gun
You ask about my conscience And I offer you my soul You ask If I'll grow to be a wise man Well I ask if I'll grow old You ask me if I known love And what it's like to sing songs in the rain Well,I've seen love come And I've seen it shot down I've seen it die in vain
Shot down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth 'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood I'm the devil's son
Each night I go to bed I pray the Lord my soul to keep No I ain't looking for forgiveness But before I'm six foot deep
Lord,I got to ask a favor And I'll hope you'll understand 'Cause I've lived life to the fullest Let the boy die like a man Staring down the bullet Let me make my final stand
Shot down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth I'm going out in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood Call me young gun I'm a young gun
