Johnny Wong keeps trying
to get it right
Way down
in Suckerville tonight
When darkness falls
in the neon lights
He feels
like walking dynamite
And he knows
he could never win
He's just trying to lose
a little more slowly
Bound for glory
The lost
but never lonely
Bound for glory
Bound for livin'
on the edge
Bound for glory
The righteous
and unholy
Desperation always
tells a story
I would have
rebuilt Jericho
For nights
as good as this
Another shot
of redemption
And it's taste
in every kiss
Elvis in the backroom
Jesus on the wall
Mary's on the whiskey
there's shadows
in the hall
Bound for glory
The lost
but never lonely
Bound for glory
Bound for livin'
on the edge
Bound for glory
The righteous
and unholy
Desperation always
tells a story
We all know
we can never win
We're all trying to lose
a little more slowly
We gotta get
through this world
free or die tryin'
Ride that downtown train
hell-bound for glory
Bound for glory
The lost
but never lonely
Bound for glory
Bound for livin'
on the edge
Bound for glory
The righteous
and unholy
Desperation always
tells a story
