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 ol´ 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 it´s 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
