Badlands lyrics

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.
