lyrics

lyrics:

under the blinding lights that line the boulevard
we hide inside a stolen car
my hand is broken from the standoff in the park
we’ll do a burglary so we can get off of the street

they said we won’t amount to much in this old world
we showed them, didn’t we?
it looks as though our chances aren’t good, my poor girl
at least you’re here with me just like I said that you would be

dying in a blaze of glory
no one left to mourn my memory
no one at my grave to bury me
dying in a blaze of glory
