[Verse 1]

I  wake up in 

the morning
     
And I raise my

 weary head
           
I've got an  o

ld coat for a 

pillow
       
And the  earth

 was last nigh

t's bed
 
I don't know w

here I'm going
   
Only God knows

 where I've be

en
     
I'm a devil on

 the run
A six gun lover
  
A  candle in t

he wind
         
When you've br

ought into thi

s world
    
They  say you'

re born in sin
       
Well at least 

they gave me s

omething
              
I didn't have 

  
to  steal or h

ave to win
         
Well they  tel

l me that I'm 

wanted
      
Yeah,  I'm a w

anted 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  dow

              
n in a blaze o

 
f glory
            
Take me now bu

th
            
I'm going out 

              
in a blaze of 


glory
       
Lord I  never 

drew first
But I drew first blood

[Verse 2]
    
I'm no one's s

one
Call me young gun
  
You  ask about

 my conscience
     
And I  offer y

ou my soul
              
You ask if I'l

 
l  grow to be 

a wise man
      
Well I ask if 

I'll grow old
    
You  ask me if

 I've known lo

ve
              
And what it's 

       
like to  sing 

songs in the r

ain
          
Well, I've see

n love come
And I've seen it shot down
   
I've seen it d

ie in vain

[Chorus]
            
Shot down in a

           
 blaze of glor

Take me now bu

Lord I never d

But I drew first blood
        
I'm the devil'

s son
Call me young gun

[Verse 3]
    
Each night I g

o to bed
            
I pray the  Lo

rd my soul to 

keep
         
No I ain't loo

king for forgi

But before I'm

 six foot deep
        
Lord, I  got t

o ask a favor
      
And I  hope yo

u'll understan

d
            
'Cause I've  l

ived life to t

he fullest
        
Let this  boy 

die like a man
 
   Staring dow

n a bullet
     
Let me make my

 final stand

[Chorus]
            
Shot  down in
