Johnny Cash - Wanted Man lyrics

rate me

Written by John R. Cash and Bob Dylan

Recorded 10/9/70

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.

Where ever you might look tonight,

You might see this wanted man.

I might be in Colorado,

Or Georgia by the sea.

Workin' for some man

Who may not know who I might be

And if you ever see me comin'

And if you know who I am,

Don't you breathe it to nobody

'Cause you know I'm on the lamb.

Wanted man by Lucy Watson,

Wanted man by Jeannie Brown

Wanted man by Nellie Johnson,

Wanted man in this next town

Well I've had all that I've 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 sidetracked in El Paso,

Stopped to get myself a map.

Went the wrong way into Juarez,

With Juanita on my lap.

Then I went to sleep in Shreveport,

Woke up in Abilene,

Wonderin' why I'm wanted

At some town half way between.

Wanted man in Albuquerque,

Wanted man in Syracuse

Wanted man in Tallahassee,

Wanted man in Baton Rouge

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

Wanted man in California,

Wanted man in Buffalo

Wanted man in Kansas City,

Wanted man in Ohio

Wanted man in Mississippi,

Wanted man in ol' Cheyenne

Wherever you might look tonight,

You might see this wanted man.
