I wake up in the morning and I raise my weary head
~#**************#~
Ive got an old coat for a pillow, and the earth was last nights bed
~#**************#~
I dont know where Im goin, only God knows where Ive been
~#**************#~
Im a devil on the run, a six gun lover, a candle in the wind
~#**************#~
Yeah
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
When youre brought into this world, they say youre born in sin
~#**************#~
Well, at least they gave me somethin, I didnt have to steal or have to win
~#**************#~
Well, they tell me that Im wanted, yeah, Im a wanted man
~#**************#~
Im a colt in your stable, Im what Cain was to Abel, Mr. Catch-Me-If-You-Can
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Im goin down in a blaze of glory
~#**************#~
Take me now but know the truth
~#**************#~
Im goin out in a blaze of glory
~#**************#~
And, Lord, I never drew first, but I drew first blood
~#**************#~
Im no ones son, call me young gun
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
You ask about my conscience and I offer you my soul
~#**************#~
You ask If Ill grow to be a wise man, well I ask if Ill grow old
~#**************#~
You ask me if Ive known love and what its like to sing songs in the rain
~#**************#~
Well, Ive seen love come, Ive seen it shot down, Ive seen it die in vain
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Shot down in a blaze of glory
~#**************#~
Take me now but know the truth
~#**************#~
‘Cause Im goin out in a blaze of glory
~#**************#~
Lord, I never drew first but I drew first blood
~#**************#~
Im the devils son, call me young gun
~#**************#~
[Guitar Solo]
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Each night I go to bed, I pray the Lord my soul to keep
~#**************#~
No, I aint lookin for forgiveness, but before Im six foot deep
~#**************#~
Lord, I gotta ask a favor, and I hope youll understand
~#**************#~
‘Cause Ive lived life to the fullest, let this boy die like a man
~#**************#~
Starin down a bullet, let me make my final stand
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Shot down in a blaze of glory
~#**************#~
Take me now but know the truth
~#**************#~
Im goin out in a blaze of glory
~#**************#~
Lord, I never drew first but I drew first blood
~#**************#~
And Im no ones son, call me young gun
~#**************#~
Im a young gun
~#**************#~
Young gun
~#**************#~
Young gun
