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 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 a colt in your stable
I´m what Cain was to Abel
Mister catch me if you can

I´m going out 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
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
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
Call me young gun

(solo)

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 hope you´ll understand
´Cause I´ve lived life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
Staring 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 going 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
