Wanted

I been on the run all my life
dodging the law and causing strife
my girl left me for another man
i shot them down and away i ran

got on my horse and loaded my gun
and away i ran into the desert sun
late at night with the moon at my back
my only friend is a bottle of jack

the pain's always there night an day
when i die there'll be hell to pay
a man's only as good as what he's done
give me my peace with a knife and gun

they say they say ill be dead soon
theyll hang me at high noon
a wicked man lasts not long
when the whiskey's flowing strong

I been on the run all my life
dodging the law and causing strife
my girl left me for another man
i shot them down and away i ran
