Johnny Wong keeps tryin' 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 loose a little more slowly

Bound for glory (Bound for glory)
The lost but never lonely,
Bound for glory (Bound for glory)
Bound for livin' on the edge,
Bound for glory (Bound for glory)
The righteous and unholy,
Desperation always tells a story

I would've 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 (Bound for glory)
The lost but never lonely,
Bound for glory (Bound for glory)
Bound for livin' on the edge,
Bound for glory (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 hellbound for glory

Bound for glory (Bound for glory)
The lost but never lonely,
Bound for glory (Bound for glory)
Bound for livin' on the edge,
Bound for glory (Bound for glory)
The righteous and unholy,
Desperation always tells a story
