NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND - Badlands lyrics

rate me

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