Stick To Your Guns Lyrics
So you want to be a cowboy
Well you know it's more that just a ride
Guess you got to know the real thing
If you want to know the other side
Ain't nobody riding shotgun
In this world tonight
And when you spit, you better mean it
You got to make 'em all believe it
If you're gonna be the one
Stick to your gun
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to
So you want to be the big time
Some people have to drag you down
There's no living in the backseat
If you're gonna drive through town
And when you pray for independence
Boy, you better stand your ground
You got to give it all you got now
Or you might get shot down
Fight hard until the battle is won
Stick to your gun
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
But only if you have to
Solo
Well, you know that I been through it
I got the scars to prove it
Fight hard and the Battle is yours
Stick to your gun
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to
But stick to your guns
Well you know it's more that just a ride
Guess you got to know the real thing
If you want to know the other side
Ain't nobody riding shotgun
In this world tonight
You got to make 'em all believe it
If you're gonna be the one
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to
Some people have to drag you down
There's no living in the backseat
If you're gonna drive through town
And when you pray for independence
Boy, you better stand your ground
Or you might get shot down
Fight hard until the battle is won
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
But only if you have to
I got the scars to prove it
Fight hard and the Battle is yours
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to

lol, i agree about the similarities to Blaze Of Glory, its the wild west thing, but it hasnt actually got nethin to do with Blaze Of Glory, as that was written specifically for Young Guns II. this was because of Jons obsession with all things cowboy. hence his first son being called Jesse James!
@torrance21 Jesse James Bongiovi huh? Also, Blaze Of Glory essentially originated from Wanted Dead Or Alive. That’s what the people from Young Guns II originally wanted, but Jon said “No, but I’ll get back to you.” (Probably because Young Guns had nothing to do with being a rock star.) Hence, they used “Billy Get Your Guns” and “Blaze Of Glory” for the end credits. :P

Because of this song, iv almost written a novel based on the song's theme! I cant wait to finish it! Brilliant song! Jon had this wild infatuation about the wild west and no wonder it sticks out in the album! The acoustic guitar buildup is so genius! Richie is a legend! lOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!
It's about standing your ground. You don't back down and even though you are scarred you will eventually win the fight. Could be a good prequel to Blaze of Glory
aaaaahhh.... emotion.. this one's EPIC

It sounds like an experienced cowboy giving his advice to a newbie, ambitious kid who'd like to follow his steps.
