 Intro
 I'm a man,  without a witness
 no one to hold  me to my  task
 along these streets  i travel lightly
 no one to answer not  to ask
 I've found no comfort  in this city
 just a place  for me to hide
 when all the hiders and  the seekers
 They all lay coldly on  there  sides
 so i will travel in  the morning
 to where my journey  first began
 back to the land  that bore  my father
 the badlands just  can't be  my  home
 Here they serve  a puppet king
 he bows  to his  own thrown
 and if ever  there was one  good thing
 that kept  this place alive
 well it's gone,  it's gone
 my thoughts have never  left you darling
 the morning sun  on your sweet face
 and how the darkness held  my promiss
 to come back home  to  you one  day
 so i will travel in  the morning
 to where my journey  first began
 back to the land  that bore  my father
 the badlands just  can't be  my  home
 the badlands just  can't be  my  home

Intro [D]

I'm a ma[D]n, without a [D]witness
no one to [D]hold me to my[D] task
along these [Bm]streets i [A]travel [G]lightly
no one to a[D]nswer [A]not to [D]ask

I've found no [D]comfort in this [D]city
just a [D]place for me to [D]hide
when all the [Bm]hiders [A]and the [G]seekers
They all lay [D]coldly [A]on there[D] sides

so i will [A]travel [G]in the [D]morning
to where my [G]journey first [D]began
back to the [A]land that [G]bore my [Bm]father[G]
the badlands [D]just can't [A]be my[D] home

Here they [A]serve a [G]puppet [D]king
he [A]bows to [G]his own [D]thrown
and if [A]ever there was [G]one good thing
that [D]kept this place [Bm]alive
well it's [E]gone, it's [G]gone

my thoughts have [D]never left you [D]darling
the morning [D]sun on your sweet [D]face
and how the [Bm]darkness [A]held my [G]promiss
to come back [D]home t[A]o you on[D]e day

so i will [A]travel [G]in the [D]morning
to where my [G]journey first [D]began
back to the [A]land that [G]bore my [Bm]father[G]
the badlands j[D]ust can't [A]be m[Bm]y home[G]
the badlands [D]just can't [A]be my[D] home
