|
Fresh scrubbed baby, momma's kiss on his cheek |
|
Steps off the greyhound with money for a week. |
|
A wild eyed innoncent, he knows no fear |
|
It takes more than heroes to survive down there. |
|
In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands |
|
Well if you've got the bullets... |
|
They'll remember your name down there. |
|
Can't drink the water, can't breathe the air |
|
They said it was exciting, never said it was fair |
|
You're just another singer in a pilgrim's suit |
|
Chased by the lines till you learn to shoot |
|
In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands |
|
If you've got those black diamonds |
|
They'll remember your name down there. |
|
Badlands, well there's always a faster hand in the west |
|
Room around town for only the best |
|
One false step and you'll be cut down |
|
For some it's paradise, others it's hell. |
|
In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands |
|
Yeah, if you've got the bullet |
|
They'll remember your name down there. |
|
They'll remember your name down there. |
|
They'll remember your name down there. |
|
You're gonna need some protection. |
|
You had better make your connections. |
