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, yeah
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
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
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
Yeah
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, yeah
Young gun, yeah, yeah, yeah
Young gun
