I wake up in the morningAnd I raise my weary headI've got an old coat for a pillowAnd the earth was last night's bedI don't know where I'm goingOnly God knows where I've beenI'm a devil on the run, a six gun loverA candle in the wind
When you're brought into this worldThey say you're born in sinWell, at least they gave me somethingI didn't have to steal or have to winWell, they tell me that I'm wantedYeah, I'm a wanted manI'm a colt in your stable, I'm what Cain was to AbelMister catch me if you can
I'm going down in a blaze of gloryTake me now but know the truthI'm going out in a blaze of gloryAnd Lord, I never drew first but I drew first bloodI'm no one's sonCall me young gun
You ask about my conscienceAnd I offer you my soulYou ask If I'll grow to be a wise manWell, I ask if I'll grow oldYou ask me if I've known loveAnd what it's like to sing songs in the rainWell, I've seen love come, I've seen it shot downI've seen it die in vain
Shot down in a blaze of gloryTake me now but know the truth'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of gloryLord, I never drew first but I drew first bloodI'm the devil's sonCall me young gun
Each night I go to bedI pray the Lord my soul to keepNo, I ain't looking for forgivenessBut before I'm six foot deepLord, I got to ask a favorAnd I'll hope you'll understand'Cause I've lived life to the fullestLet this boy die like a manStaring down a bulletLet me make my final stand
Shot down in a blaze of gloryTake me now but know the truthI'm going out in a blaze of gloryLord, I never drew first but I drew first bloodAnd I'm no one's sonCall me young gunI'm a young gunYoung gunYoung gun
