[Verse]
DBullet in my shoulder,     blood Grunnin' down my vest,
Atwenty in the posse and they're never gonna let me resDt.G  A  D  
TiDll I became a waGnted man I never eveDn owned a gAun,
but nGow they hunt me like a mouAntain cat,
and I'm alGways,    Aalways,     Galways       Aon the Drun.
DI killed poor Jed BGrine in abAad Laredo fiDght,
killed him with my bGare hands for the gAirl I loved that niDght.
Jed's brGother's out to gDet me, he's coGmin' with a gaDng,
but I'd rGather shoot it oDut, by God, than Glet 'em Awatch me Dhang.
[Chorus]
BuDllet in my shoulder !! BlGood !! runnin' down my vest!
TwDenty in the posse, and they're nAever gonna let me rest !
TiDll I became a waGnted man I never eveDn owned a gAun,
but nGow they hunt me like a mouAntain cat,
and I'm alGways,    Aalways,     Galways       Aon the Drun.
[Verse]
She had spanDgles on her red Gdress, she had laugAhter in her voiDce.
When he tried to put his hGands on her, my hAeart left me no cDhoice.
But wGas she really woDrth it? Well, I guGess I'll never kDnow,
she'll be driGnking someone elDse's rye, when IG'm six fAeet belDow.
[Chorus]
BuDllet in my shoulder !! Blood !! unninG' down my vest!
TwenDty in the posse, and they're never gonna let me rAest !
TiDll I became a waGnted man I never eveDn owned a gAun,
but nGow they hunt me like a mouAntain cat,
and I'm alGways,    Aalways,     Galways       Aon the Drun.
       G   Aa wanted Dman,      G  Aa wanteDd man,    G      Aon tDhe run.
