Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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
Lord, I never drew first, but I drew first blood
I'm no one's son, call me young gun

Verse 3

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

Chorus

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

Verse 4

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 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 me make my final stand

Chorus

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 one's son
Call me young gun
I'm a young gun
