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
And I've been hiding here
for seven months or so
Hand me down my golden 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
This house is safe and warm
But I was made to
chase the storm
Taking the whole world
on with big old 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
The lock is on the cellar door
I can't remember what its 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
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
callin' over those hills
