“Blaze Of Glory” by Jon Bon Jovi

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