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, Onl y 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, Miste r catch me if you can

I'm goin g down in a blaze o f 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

Yo u 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'v e seen it die in vain

Each night I go to bed, I pray the Lord my soul to keep

No I ain' t looking for forgiveness, But be fore I'm six foot deep

Lord, I got to ask a favor, And I hope you'll understand

'Cause I've lived life to the fullest, Let this boy die like a man

Staring down a bullet, Let m e make my final stand
