| Fresh scrubbed baby, mommas 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 youve got the bullets…
|
| Theyll remember your name down there.
|
| Cant drink the water, cant breathe the air
|
| They said it was exciting, never said it was fair
|
| Youre just another singer in a pilgrims suit
|
| Chased by the lines till you learn to shoot
|
| In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands
|
| If youve got those black diamonds
|
| Theyll remember your name down there.
|
| Badlands, well theres always a faster hand in the west
|
| Room around town for only the best
|
| One false step and youll be cut down
|
| For some its paradise, others its hell.
|
| In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands
|
| Yeah, if youve got the bullet
|
| Theyll remember your name down there.
|
| Theyll remember your name down there.
|
| Theyll remember your name down there.
|
| Youre gonna need some protection.
|
| You had better make your connections. |
