Wanted Man

(Chorus:) Wanted man in California Wanted man in Buffalo Wanted man in Kansas City Wanted man in Ohio Wanted man in Mississippi Wanted man in old Cheyenne Wherever you might look tonight you might see this wanted man [Verse] 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 because 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 Juarez with Juanita on my lap Went to sleep in Shreveport Woke up in Abilene Wondering 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 [Chorus] Wanted man in California Wanted man in Buffalo Wanted man in Kansas City Wanted man in Ohio Wanted man in Mississippi Wanted man in old Cheyenne Wherever you might look tonight you might see this wanted man
