I wake up in the mornin'
and I raise my weary head.
I've got an old coat for a pillow,
and the earth was last night's bed.
I don't know where I'm goin',
only God knows where I've been.
I'm a devil on the run,
a sixgun lover,
a candle in the wind, yeah!
You're brought into this world,
oh, 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 a colt in your stable,
I'm what Cain was to Abel.
Mister, catch me if you can.
I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory,
take me now but know the truth.
I'm goin' out in a blaze of glory.
In Lord, I never drew first but I drew first blood,
and I'm no one's son, 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've known love
and what it's like to sing songs in the rain.
Well, I've seen love come,
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 goin' down in a blaze of glory.
Lord, I never drew first but I drew first blood,
I'm the devil's son, call me Young Gun. Yeah!
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 gotta ask a favor
and I hope you'll understand.
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest,
let this boy die like a man.
Starin' down a bullet,
let me make my final stand.
Shot down in a blaze of glory,
take me now but know the truth.
I'm goin' out in a blaze of glory.
Lord, I never drew first but I drew first blood,
and I'm no one's son, call me Young Gun.
I'm a Young Gun, yeah,
Young Gun, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Young Gun, ah.
Young Gun, ah.
