Song information
Artist: Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Album: Acoustic
Lyrics
Fresh scrubbed baby, momma's kiss on his cheek Steps off the greyhound with money for a week A wide-eyed innocent, he knows no fear It takes more than heroes to survive down there
In the badlands, badlands, badlands 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 til you learn to shoot
In the badlands, badlands, badlands If you've got those black dollars 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, for others it's hell
In the badlands, badlands, badlands (Badlands) gonna need some protection (Badlands) gotta make your connection (Badlands) hide all your dollars (Badlands) history ain't got nothing to do with it If you've got the bullets They'll remember your name down there They'll remember your name down there They'll remember your name down there
