[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 1]
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 ‘cause you know I'm on the lamb

[Chorus 2]
Wanted man by Lucy Watson
Wanted man by Jeannie Brown
Wanted man by Nellie Johnson
Wanted man in this next town

[Verse 2]
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
I got sidеtracked in El Paso
Stopped to get mysеlf a map
Went the wrong way in Juarez with Juanita on my lap
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I went to sleep in Shreveport
Woke up in Abilene
Wondering why the hell I'm wanted at some town halfway between

[Chorus 3]
Wanted man in Albuquerque
Wanted man in Syracuse
Wanted man in Tallahassee
Wanted man in Baton Rouge

[Verse 3]
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
