Lyrics

He use to be a lucky man everybody called him friend
He traveled the world all over around and back again
The finest girl on every street would wind up on his arm
All well to do and beautiful too with a race horse in the barn
Then he stumbled in to the valley of sin
And everybody there claimed they knew him when

He went down in a blaze of glory
He went down in a burst of flame
Just like an old familiar story
Some things are never gonna change

If we had a rowboat in the middle of a angry sea
With a anchor ‘round our ankles to drown our misery
We’d say a toast to the memory of the saints who died in vain
And smash that whisky on the rocks if we ever got back again
Well it’s not so easy when a man’s got to choose
Between nothin’ left and nothin’ left to loose

Goin’ down in a blaze of glory
Goin’ down in a burst of flame
Like the ones who came before me
Wouldn’t have it any other way

You and I well we could light the sky
Just like a flash from the brightest star in the night
Let's go down in a blaze of glory
We'll go down in a burst of flame
Like a heart breaking story
Maybe someday we’ll meet again
