Black Star Riders - Bound for Glory Lyrics


Johnny Wong keeps trying to get it right

Way down in Suckerville tonight

When darkness falls in the neon lights

He feels like walking dynamite

And he knows he could never win

He's just trying to lose a little more slowly

Bound for glory (Bound for glory)

The lost but never lonely

Bound for glory (Bound for glory)

Bound for livin' on the edge

Bound for glory (Bound for glory)

The righteous and unholy

Desperation always tells a story

I would have rebuilt Jericho

For nights as good as this

Another shot of redemption

And it's taste in every kiss

Elvis in the backroom, Jesus on the wall

Mary's on the whiskey, there's shadows in the hall

Bound for glory (Bound for glory)

The lost but never lonely

Bound for glory (Bound for glory)

Bound for livin' on the edge

Bound for glory (Bound for glory)

The righteous and unholy

Desperation always tells a story

We all know we can never win

We're all trying to lose a little more slowly

We gotta get through this world, free or die tryin'

Ride that downtown train hell-bound for glory

Bound for glory (Bound for glory)

The lost but never lonely

Bound for glory (Bound for glory)

Bound for livin' on the edge

Bound for glory (Bound for glory)

The righteous and unholy

Desperation always tells a story
