Wanted Man lyrics

Bullet in my shoulder

Blood, runnin' my vest

20 in the posse

And they're never gonna let me rest

'Till I became a wanted man

I never even 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 coming with a gang

I'd rather shoot it out by God

Than let 'em watch 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 even owned a gun

But now they hunt me like a mountain cat

And I'm always (always)

Always (always)

Always (always) on the run

She had spangles on her red dress

She had 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

Well 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 even owned a gun

But now they hunt me like a mountain cat

And I'm always (always)

Always (always)

Always, on the run

A wanted man

A wanted man

On the run
