Blaze of GloryLyrics by Brent Hoad and Steve PhillipsHe use to be a lucky man everybody called him friend He traveled the world all over around and back again The finest girl on every street would wind up on his arm All well to do and beautiful too with a race horse in the barn Then he stumbled in to the valley of sin And everybody there claimed they knew him when He went down in a blaze of glory He went down in a burst of flame Just like an old familiar story Some things are never gonna change If we had a rowboat in the middle of a angry sea With a anchor ‘round our ankles to drown our misery We’d say a toast to the memory of the saints who died in vain And smash that whisky on the rocks if we ever got back again Well it’s not so easy when a man’s got to choose Between nothin’ left and nothin’ left to loose Goin’ down in a blaze of glory Goin’ down in a burst of flame Like the ones who came before me Wouldn’t have it any other way You and I well we could light the sky Just like a flash from the brightest star in the night Let's go down in a blaze of glory We'll go down in a burst of flame Like a heart breaking story Maybe someday we’ll meet again © 2002 - The Elders Close This Window |
