Wanted Man |
| Till I became a wanted man |
| I never owned a gun |
| But now they hunt me like a mountain cat |
| And I’m always, always, always on the run |
| I killed poor Jed Bryant |
| In a bad Laredo fight |
| Killed him with my bare hands |
| For the girl I loved that night |
| Jed’s brother’s out to get me |
| He’s comin' with a gang |
| I’d rather shoot it out, by God, than let 'em see me hang |
| Bullet in my shoulder |
| Blood runnin' down my vest |
| Twenty in the posse |
| And they’re never gonna let me rest |
| Till I became a wanted man |
| I never owned a gun |
| But now they hunt me like a mountain cat |
| And I’m always, always, always on the run |
| Spangles on her red dress |
| Laughter in her voice |
| When he tried to put his hands on her |
| My heart left me no choice |
| But was she really worth it? |
| I guess I’ll never know |
| She’ll be drinkin' someone else’s rye when I’m six feet below |
| Bullet in my shoulder |
| Blood runnin' down my vest |
| Twenty in the posse |
| And they’re never gonna let me rest |
| Till I became a wanted man |
| I never owned a gun |
| But now they hunt me like a mountain cat |
| And I’m always, always, always on the run |
