1990-023I 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 nights 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 in 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 ones 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

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 ones son, call me young gun

I`m a young gun, yeah
Young gun, yeah yeah yeah
Young gun
