Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers - Wanted

Well, I'm-a wanted in fifty states and in Mexico
And the wanted posters stretch from Alaska down
To Tierra Del Fuego
I do the don'ts, I don't the do's
I wrong the rights and I false the truths
I drink all night and I howl the blues

'Cause I've never been wanted
Like I wanna 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, I don't the do's
And every time I turn around I'm on the five 'o clock news
My blood runs red but my heart is blue

'Cause I've never been wanted
Like I wanna be wanted by you
Like I wanna be wanted by you
Like I wanna be wanted by you
Like I wanna 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'm still wanted in fifty states and in Mexico
And the wanted posters stretch from Alaska down
To Tierra Del Fuego
I do the don'ts, don't the do's
And every time 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 wanna be wanted by you
Like I wanna be wanted by you
Like I wanna be wanted by you
I wanna be wanted by you
