Bullet in my shoulder
Blood, runnin' my vest
20 in the posse
And they're never gonna let me rest
'Till I became a wanted man
I never even owned a gun
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat
And I'm always
Always
Always
On the run
I killed poor Jed Bryant
In a bad, Laredo fight
Killed him with my bare hands
For the girl I loved that night
Jeds' brothers' out to get me
He's coming with a gang
I'd rather shoot it out by God
Than let 'em watch me hang
Bullet in my shoulder
Blood, runnin' down my vest
Twenty in the posse
And they're never gonna let me rest
'Till I became a wanted man
I never even owned a gun
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat
And I'm always (always)
Always (always)
Always (always) on the run
She had spangles on her red dress
She had laughter in her voice
When he tried to put his hands on her
My heart left me no choice
But was she really worth it
Well I guess I'll never know
She'll be drinkin' someone else's rye
When I'm six feet below
Bullet in my shoulder
Blood, runnin' down my vest
Twenty in the posse
And they're never gonna let me rest
Till I became a wanted man
I never even owned a gun
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat
And I'm always (always)
Always (always)
Always, on the run
A wanted man
A wanted man
On the run
