Blaze of Glory

Kenny Rogers · The Very Best Of - Album [2006]

Let's go out in a blaze of glory

All good things must end

Like two heros in a story

Let's go out like we came in

In a blaze of glory.

Here we are broken-hearted

We thought our love would never end

We fell hard when we got started

Fallin' out like we fell in.

Let's go out in a blaze of glory

All good things must end

Like two heros in a story

Let's go out like we came in

In a blaze of glory.

Let's gonna hurt each other

That would be a worse mistake

Once again let's act like lovers

One more time for old-time's sake.

Let's go out in a blaze of glory

All good things must end

Like two heros in a story

let's go out like we came in

In a blaze of glory.

Let's go out (let's go out)

In a blaze of glory (in a blaze of glory)

All good things must end

Like two heros (ah,) in a story (in a story)

Let's go out (let's go out) like we came in (like we came in)

In a blaze of glory,

Blaze of Glory

Kenny Rogers' "Blaze of Glory" stands as a defining anthem of the 1970s country-rock movement, capturing the spirit of the American Southwest with its soaring harmonies and driving rhythm. Recorded for his extensive discography, the track exemplifies Rogers' ability to blend traditional country storytelling with the electric energy of rock instrumentation. The song's enduring popularity stems from its relatable themes of resilience and the search for meaning, delivered through Rogers' distinctive vocal style that bridged the gap between Nashville and the broader rock audience. As a staple of his greatest hits collections, "Blaze of Glory" remains a powerful representation of the era's musical fusion, influencing countless subsequent artists in the country and rock genres.
