I wake up in the morning 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 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 somethin`, 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, Mr. 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
And, Lord, I never drew first, but I drew first blood
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` out 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

Each night I go to bed, I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No, I ain`t lookin` for forgiveness, but before I`m six foot deep
Lord, I gotta ask a favor, and I`ll 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
Young gun
Young gun
