Badge And Gun

Give me my badge and gun

Give me the road that I may run

Give me that peaceful, wandering-free I used to know

I've waited all I can, but I'm just not a patient man

Man, I've been hiding here for seven months or so

Hand me down my coat and hat

And grab the winter one at that

You never know how long I'll be away

Give me my badge and gun

Give me the songs that I once sung

Give me those Jet black, kick-back

Lay down nights alone (those lay down nights alone)

This house is safe and warm

But I was made to chase the storm

Taking the whole world on with big ol' empty arms

Tell my friends I tried my best

That one day I just up and left

They probably saw it coming anyway(what can I say)

Hey, hey. (ooo's)

The lock is on the cellar door

I can't remember what it's for

I ain't been down those stairs in oh so long

So, so long

Give me my badge and gun

Give me the road that I must run

Give me that peaceful, wandering-free I used to know

A copy of your key is hanging where it used to be

Good as you've always been to me

The life I need to lead

Is somewhere out there calling over those hills
