[Verse 1]
DmI wake up in the morning
And I Craise my weary head
I've got an Gold coat for a pillow
And the Dmearth was last night's bed
I Fdon't know where I'm going
Only CGod knows where I've been
I'm a Gdevil on the run, a six gun lover
A Dmcandle in the wind

[Verse 2]
When you're Dmbrought into this world
They Csay you're born in sin
Well, at Gleast they gave me something
I didn't have to Dmsteal or have to win
Well, they Ftell me that I'm wanted
Yeah, CI'm a wanted man
I'm a Gcolt in your stable, I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister Dmcatch me if you can
[Chorus]
I'm going Gdown in a blaze of Dglory
Take me Gnow but know the Dtruth
I'm going Gout in a blaze of Dglory
Lord, I Cnever drew first, but I drew first blood
I'm Gno one's son, call me young gun

[Verse 3]
You Dmask about my conscience
And I Coffer you my soul
You ask if I'll Ggrow to be a wise man
Well, I Dmask if I'll grow old
You Fask me if I've known love
And what it's like to Csing songs in the rain
Well, I've Gseen love come, I've seen it shot down
I've Dmseen it die in vain
[Chorus]
Shot Gdown in a blaze of Dglory
Take me Gnow but know the Dtruth
'Cause I'm going Gdown in a blaze of Dglory
Lord, I Cnever drew first, but I drew first blood
I'm the Gdevil's son, call me young gun
