Lyrics:

Wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I 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
And I'm going down in a blaze of glory
But take me now but know the truth
I'm going down 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
When you're brought into this world
They say you're born in sin
Well at least they gave us 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 colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Able
Mister catch me if you can
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm a devil's son
Call me young gun
~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
God, I got to ask a favor
And I hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Oh let this boy die like a man
Starin' down the bullet
Let me make my final stand
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm a devil's son
Call me young gun
