Wanted Man
B17'S



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
Or working for some man who may not know who I might be
Wanted man by Lucy Watson
Wanted man by Jeannie Brown
Wanted man by Nellie Johnson
Wanted man in this next town

I got sidetracked in El Paso
Stopped to get myself a map
Went the wrong way into Juarez with Juanita on my lap
Then I went to sleep in Shreveport
Woke up in Abilene
Wonderin' why the hell I'm wanted at some town half way between
Wanted man in California
Wanted man in Buffalo
Wanted man in Kansas City,
Wanted man in Ohio
There's somebody set to grab me
Anywhere that I might be
So wherever you might look tonight
You might get a glimpse of me


Don't you breathe it to nobody 'cause you know I'm on the lam
And if you ever see me coming and if you know who I am
Wanted man by Lucy Watson,
Wanted man by Jeannie Brown
Wanted man by Nellie Johnson,
Wanted man in this next town
But 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
