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 my badge and gun) Give me the songs that I once sung (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 (tell me friends I tried) That one day I just up and left (I have left) They probably saw it coming anyway (What can I say?) Hey, hey ♪ The lock is on the cellar door (cellar door) I can't remember what it's for (what it's for) I ain't been down those stairs in, oh, so long (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 The 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
