Lyrics

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