[Santa Fe]
I just seen trouble
You could walk away
The bandileros are strung out
Chorus
Billy get your guns
There's a whiskey bottle empty
All the whores are hanging out
Billy get your guns
They christened you with whiskey
Chorus
I've seen hangman dancing
I don't envy you Billy
Billy get your guns
A penny for your thoughts now baby
I know you think you're going crazy
And you said it ain't fair
Gonna take a miracle top save us this time
You're looking for salvation
He said
Gonna take a miracle top save us this time
Solo
Well my eyes have seen the horror
Gonna take a miracle top save you this time
I wake up in the morning
When you're brought into this world
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
You ask about my conscience
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Solo
Each night I go to bed
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Hey Patty Garrett that's what I used to call you
But you say this ain't about me, this ain't about you
I wonder what would have happened
But this ain't about me, this ain't about you
Blood money
They say that no man is an island
The spirits they intoxicate me
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Once I was promised absolution
And I blame this world for making
Now I ain't getting into heaven
Solo
So I save a prayer
When I meet my maker
Now I ain't getting into heaven
Hey mister can you help me
I jumped headfirst into a bottle
So tell me who's gonna save me
I been broke and I've been hungry
'Cause what you get in life you take it
And when there's just one rule you live by
Guns talk to me in my sleep at night
Winners are losers
So Mister can you help me
There's justice in the barrel
As we stood there older than men
And you were lonesome
And we knew how to laugh
Never say die
I guess you'd say we had a pact
Once I was afraid of love
Never say die
Solo
Yeah, and we could run like lightning
They ask what it is that I want written
My spirit is still riding somewhere
Never say die
You're dancing with your shadow
You really got me
You say you talk to everyone
You really got me
Who am I to judge a man
You brought a knife out to a gunfight
You really got me
Repeat
I went to see the preacher
Bang a drum for the sinners
I called upon my brother just the
I'd bang a drum for the dying
I don't know where all the rivers run
No I don't claim to be a wiseman
Bang a drum for tomorrow
A whiskey bottle comforts me
But the night's there to remind me
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
The desert's been a friend to me
All this fame don't bring you freedom
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
Solo
And I hope someone will pray for me
Chorus

[Guano City]BILLY GET YOUR GUNS
He's calling out your name tonite
Billy get your guns
But I know you were born to fight
So Billy get your guns
In the promenade
Billy get your guns
There's trouble blowing like a hurricane
Billy get your guns
That's the price on your head for the
Price of fame
And it'll never change
Billy get your guns
Sittin' on the bar
Billy get your guns
And some organ grinder singing
About some sucker moving on
Billy get your guns
Waiting to get paid
Billy get your guns
From some Johnny on the spot
Who said hey keep the change baby
There's trouble blowing like a hurricane
Billy get your guns
That's the price on your head for the
Price of fame
And it'll never change
And there's fire running through your veins
Well you're an outlaw just the same
And every night a bullet wears your name
Beneath the pale moonlight
Billy get your guns
And every stranger that you meet
Thinks it's his lucky night
Billy get your guns
But I want to say
You better get your guns
'Cause every outlaw that's died
Will live to ride again
Billy get your guns
There's trouble blowing like a hurricane
Billy get your guns
That's the price on your head for the
Price of fame
And it'll never change
Billy get your gunsMIRACLE
Looks like the weight of the world's
On your shoulders now
Just when it seems everything's
Gonna work itself out
They drive you right back down
That a man walks
When a bird can fly
We have to kick the ground
The stars kiss the sky
They say that spirits live
A man has to die
They promised us truth
Now they're giving us lies
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle
'Cause it's all on the line
And I won't let you down
(No I won't let you down)
The river of your hope is flooding
And I know the dam is busted
If you need me I'll come running
I won't let you down... no, no
You thought that it'd be shining
Like an angel's light
Well, the angels left this nation
And salvation caught the last train
Out tonight
He lost one hell of a fight
I'm just one man, that's all I'll ever be
I never can be everything you wanted from me
I've got plans so big
That any blind man could see
I'm standing in the river
Now I'm drowning in the sea
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle
'Cause your heart's on the line
And your heartbeat is slowing down
Your feet are grounded still
You're reaching for the sky
You can let 'em clip your wings
'Cause I believe that you can fly
Of the coming of the flood
I've driven deep the thorny crown
Into the soul of someone's son
Still I'll look you in the eye
'Cause I've believed in things I've thought
And I'll die without regret
For the wars I have fought
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle
'Cause your heart's doing time
And your conscience is calling you out
It ain't all for nothing
Life ain't written in the sand
I know the tide is coming
But it's time we made a stand
With a miracleBLAZE OF GLORY
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
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
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
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
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
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 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
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 gunBLOOD MONEY
They tell me you want me but I hear they've got you
They made you a lawman with a badge made of silver
They paid you some money to sell them my soul
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've got to cause you can't walk away
If you were the killer
And I was the hero
Would things be the same
Or would I have traded
Your life for my own life
Would I have paid
Your debts in your place
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've got to cause you can't walk away
That's what I call it
'Cause money for blood ain't no fair exchange
Blood money
Bought and then sold you
But your conscience is all you can take to your graveSANTA FE
And good things come to those who wait
But the things I hear are there
Just to remind me
Every dog will have his day
I watched them infiltrate my soul
They try to say it's too late for me
Tell my guns I'm coming home
Tell my maker he can wait
I'm riding somewhere south of heaven
Heading back to Santa Fe
It's judgement day in Santa Fe
There's only one solution for my sins
You gotta face your ghosts and know
With no illusions
That only one of you is going home again
A good man evil
It's this world that can drive a
Good man mad
And it's this world that turns a killer
Into a hero
Well I blame this world for making
A good man bad
If the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgement day in Santa Fe
For when I need it most
To the Father, Son
And the Holy Ghost
And sign it from a sinner
With no name
When I close the book
On the hearts I broke
And the lives I took
Will he walk away
'Cause my soul's
Too late to save
If the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgement day in Santa FeJUSTICE IN THE BARREL
I'm a loner on the run
I'm just looking for tomorrow
And I ain't gonna hurt no one
I was looking for a friend
Came up just short of nothing
I didn't find the truth I only found an end
Or my father or my son
When the only justice a man can see
Is the barrel... of a loaded gun
I think they're both my middle name
But I don't never ever never seem to get enough
Still guess I can't complain
You've gotta hold on and make it last
They say good things come to those who wait
But it's life that goes so fast
Each day you kiss the rising sun
When you live and die by the life we breathe
In the barrel of a loaded gun
And a gun somewhere is burning
With my name
And losers will have to face
All those yesterdays
And all of the dreams they blew away
Or are you my gun
Have the ghosts of justice
Brought you here to me to taste
The barrel of a loaded gun
Of a loaded gunNEVER SAY DIE
And younger than the boys (that's right)
We were as still as the wind
That blows on a hot August night
As a jukebox
But deadly just the same
I could be as gentle as a newborn
Then spit into the eye of a hurricane
And we knew how to cry
Yeah, we sure knew how to live
But we don't ever
Never say die
These words we knew so well (that's right)
Still they remained unspoken
And we'd take them to the fiery
Gates of hell
But when it's your brother
Those things change
'Cause love is just another word
For trust
So hear me when I say
Never say no
You got to look them in the eye
And don't let go
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
And your own tears you'll cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Never say die
Through the pouring rain
And we'll be standing like a soldier
Who comes marching home again
On the gravestone where I'll lie
Tell them it's just my bones
That died there
So save the tears they'll cry
Somewhere in this night
When it's these three words that come to me
As I kiss this world goodbye
Never say no
You got to look them in the eye
And don't let go
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
And your own tears you'll cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Never say dieYOU REALLY GOT ME NOW
You been talking in your sleep
Well you can walk on water
But don't want to wet your feet
You really got me now
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really put me through it
You got me
Who is anyone in town
But they don't recognize you
With your foot out of your mouth
You really got me now
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really put me through it
You got me
Who says he's his own biggest fan
It's true
And you're shouting that I'm dead
My old friends Smith and Wesson
Think you're in over your head
You really got me now
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really put me through it
You got meBANG A DRUM
To teach me how to pray
He looked at me and smiled
Then the preacher turned away
He said if you want to tell him something
You ain't gotta fold your hands
Say it with your heart
Your soul and believe it
And I'd say amen
Bang a drum for the sins
Bang a drum for the losers
And those who win
Bang a drum bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
Bang a drum for yourself son
And a drum for me
Other day, he said: John I'm gonna
Die if I don't start to live again
I work each day and night like clockwork
Just trying to make ends meet
I could kick this bad world's ass
If I could just get on my feet
Bang a drum for the truth
Bang a drum for the innocence
Lost in our youth
Bang a drum bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
Bang a drum for you brother
And a drum for me
I don't know how far, I don't know how come
But I'm gonna die believin'
Each step that I take
Ain't worth the ground that
I walk on
If we don't walk it our
Own way
A poet or a saint
I'm just another man who's searching
For a better way
But my heart beats loud as thunder
For the things that I believe
Sometimes I wanna run for cover
Sometimes I want to scream
Bang a drum for the past
Bang a drum for the heros
That won't come back
Bang a drum for the promise
Bang a drum for the lies
Bang a drum for the lovers
And the tears they've cried
Bang a drum bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
But as long as my heart keeps on bangin'
I got a reason to believeDYIN' AIN'T MUCH OF A LIVIN'
And tells me not to cry
While a full moon says a prayer for me
I try to close my eyes
Of the guns and the early graves
The ghosts appear as I fall asleep
To sing an outlaw's serenade
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
It covers me by night
And a snakebite's not my enemy
But it taught me how to fight
Though it wears a this disguise
When an outlaw is just a man to me
And a man has to die
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
When it's my turn to die... pray for meGUANO CITY
