We was broke and hungry on a summer day They sent the sheriff down to try an' drive us away We were sittin' ducks for the police man They found a dirty-faced kid in a garbage can, uh ha Ooh! And I'm alone, I'm on the highway Wanted, dead or alive Dead or alive Broken down and dirty, dressed in rags A-from the day my mama told me: boy, you pack your bags A-send the mayor down in his pickup truck The jury look at me, say: outta luck, oo-ooh, yeah! And I'm alone, I'm on the highway Wanted, dead or alive Dead or alive, uh-aah! Alright! Uh! Now, I'm broken down and dirty, dressed in rag A-from the day my mama told me: boy, you pack your bags An' we were sittin' ducks for the police man They found a dirty-faced kid in a garbage can Di-yeah, yeah! Babe, I'm alone and, I'm on the highway Wanted, dead or alive Dead or alive, ow-ow! Wow! O'm gone! ooh yeah! oh Ow-ow Baby, let me run Oh-oh, oh-oh I'm a spark on the horizon
