  • 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 (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 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 (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 hell-bound 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 Writer/s: DAMON JOHNSON, RICHARD DESMOND WARWICK
