Wanted Man

Wanted man in california,
Wanted man in buffalo
Wanted man in kansas city,
Wanted man in ohio
Wanted man in mississippi,
Wanted man in ol' cheyenne
Wherever you might look tonight you might see this wanted man
I might be in colorado,
Or georgia by the sea
Working for some man who may not know at all who i might be
If you ever see me coming and if you know who i am
Don't you breathe it to nobody 'cause you know i'm on the lamb
Wanted man by lucy watson,
Wanted man by jeannie brown
Wanted man by nellie johnson,
Wanted man in this next town
I've had all that i wanted of a lot of things i've had
And a lot more than i needed of some things that turned out bad
I got sidetracked in el paso,
Stopped to get myself a map
Went the wrong way in pleura with juanita on my back
Went to sleep in shreveport,
Woke up in abilene
Wonderin' why i'm wanted at some town half way in between
Wanted man in albuquerque,
Wanted man in syracuse
Wanted man in tallahassee,
Wanted man in baton rouge
There's somebody set to grab me
Anywhere that i might be
And wherever you might look tonight
You might get a glimpse of me
Wanted man in california,
Wanted man in buffalo
Wanted man in kansas city,
Wanted man in ohio
Wanted man in mississippi,
Wanted man in ol' cheyenne
Wherever you might look tonight you might see this wanted man
