I been wanted in fifty states and in Mexico
I'm a wanted poster sketch
From Alaska down to Tierra Del Fuego
I do the don'ts
Don't the do's
I wrong the rights
And I false the truths
I drink all night
And I have the blues
Cause I never been wanted like I want to be wanted by you
The federales put a bullet in my sombrero
Still there ain't an hombre standin'
Who's got the drop on this here pistolero
I do the don'ts
Don't the do's
And everytime I turn around
I'm on the five o'clock news
My blood runs red
But my heart is blue
Cause I never been wanted like I want to be wanted by you
So baby grab my hand
We're gonna make our stand
On the Mexican side of the Rio Grande
I got a little money and a place to go
Where you could live high
While I lay low
Yeah, let's go!
I been wanted in fifty states and in Mexico
I'm a wanted poster sketch
From Alaska down to Tierra Del Fuego
I do the don'ts
Don't the do's
And everytime I turn around
I'm on the ten o'clock news
My blood runs red
But my heart is blue
Cause I never been wanted like I want to be wanted by you
