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 on the run 

I killed poor Jed Kline in bad Laredo fight 
Killed him with my bare hands for the girl I loved that night 
Jed's brother's out to get me 
He's comin' with a gang 
But 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 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 drinking 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
