Wanted Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you see me hanging round, you don't know me
don't stare at me for too long
i'm a wanted man in colorado, wanted man in buffalo
wanted man in kansas city, wanted man in ohio
wanted man in california, wanted man in old cheyenne
whatever you may look tonight you might see this wanted man
i might be in alabama or georgia by the sea
working for some man who don't know who i may be
if you should see me comin and you know who i am
don't grieve into nobody cause you know i'm on the lam
if you see me hanging round, you don't know me
don't stare at me for too long
If you see me hanging round, you don't know me
don't stare at me for too long
i'm a wanted man by lucy johnson, wanted man by lucy brown
wanted man by suzy thompson, wanted man in this texas town
see i had all that i wanted of a lot of things i had
and a lot more and i need it some things that turned out bad
i got sidetracked in el paso, had to find myself a map
i took a wrong way down to juarez, with the needle of my lap
went sleeping _____, woke up in new orleans
wondering how i wanted some town halfways in between
wanted man in tallahassee, wanted man in syracuse
wanted man in cincinatti, wanted man in baton rouge
somebody sent to grab me anyway that i might be
and wherever you may look tonight you might catch a glimpse on me
if you see me hanging round, you don't know me
don't stare at me for too long
i'm wanted man in california, wanted man in buffalo
wanted man in kansas city, wanted man in ohio
wanted man in alabama, wanted man in old cheyenne
wherever you may look tonight you might see this wanted man
wanted man in alabama...
wanted man in buffalo....
