I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den

Oh, my number one occupation is stealing women from their men



Well, I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good.

Said, I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good.

Well, the sheriff couldn't catch me,

But his little girl sure wish she could.



Well now the doctor call me crazy, sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't,

Said now the doctor call me crazy, sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't,

Yes, and the preacher man call me sinner

But his little girl call me saint.



Well a couple shots of whiskey women 'round here start looking good,

I said a couple shots of whiskey women 'round here start looking good,

A couple more shots of whiskey, I'm going down to Minglewood.
