Destiny is the rising sun
I was born six-gun in my hand
Behind a gun I make my final stand
That's why they call me
Bad company and I can't deny
Bad company 'til the day I die
'Til the day I die
'Til the day I die
Rebel souls, deserters we are called
Chose a gun and threw away the sun
Now these towns, they all know our name
Six-gun sound is our claim to fame
I can hear them say
Bad company and I won't deny
Bad, bad Company 'til the day I die
'Til the day I die.
Hey, hey, bad company, I can't deny
Bad company 'til the day I die
And I said
It's bad company
Oh yeah, yeah
Bad company 'til the day I die
Tell me you're not a thief
Oh, but I'm bad company
It's the way I play
Dirty for dirty
Oh, somebody double crossed me
Double cross
Double cross
Yeah, we're bad company
Kill in cold blood
Bad Company were an English rock supergroup that was formed in London in 1973 by singer Paul Rodgers, drummer Simon Kirke (both ex-Free), guitarist Mick Ralphs (ex-Mott the Hoople) and bassist Boz Burrell (ex-King Crimson). Peter Grant, who managed the rock band Led Zeppelin, also managed Bad Company until 1982.
Bad Company enjoyed great success throughout the 1970s. Their first three albums, Bad Company (1974), Straight Shooter (1975), and Run with the Pack (1976), reached the top five in the album charts in both the UK and the US. Many of their singles and songs, such as "Bad Company", "Can't Get Enough" (1974), "Feel Like Makin' Love" (1975), "Shooting Star" (1975), "Burnin' Sky" (1977) and "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" (1979), remain staples of classic rock radio. They have sold 20 million RIAA-certified albums in the US and 40 million worldwide. Though they initially disbanded in 1982, Bad Company reunited on many occasions to record and tour until 2019. In 2023, Kirke revealed that they would not continue as a band following the development of Rodgers' recent health issues.
