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, yeah
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 through your stable I'm what Cain was to Abel Mister catch me if you can
I'm going down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth
I'm going 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 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, na... yeah
[Guitar 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 gotta ask a favor And I hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest Let this boy's die like a man
Staring down a bullet Let me make my final stand
Shot down (down) in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out (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 I'm a young gun, yeah
Young gun, yeah..., Young gun
