Lyrics
Glory
There you were by your pickup truck
Corsage in hand, want to get lucky
And dressed to kill
There you stood, in your rented tux
And then you rose, you rose, to glory
A ?63 Ford and the world at your feet
Your future before you and life was sweet
And time to kill
The keys to the future, the keys to the car
The key to her heart, seeing stars
You were coming up roses
There you stood in charge of the world
Until you fell, you fell, from glory
There you stood, on top of the earth
Until you fell, you fell from glory.
BREAK
Away from home, and all alone
Dressed in green, and dressed to kill
With your gun in hand
There you were, with your flags unfurled,
In the desert, in the dust
You were a marked man
There you stood, afraid of the earth
And then you fell, you fell from glory
There you were, above the earth
And then you rose, you rose, to glory
