We was broke and hungry on a summer day
They sent the sheriff down to try and drive us away
We was sittin' ducks for the police man
They found a dirty faced kid in a garbage can
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
Send the mayor down in his pickup truck
The jury look at me, say, Outta luck
And I'm alone, I'm on the highway, wanted dead or alive, dead or alive
Now, I'm broken down and dirty, dressed in rags a from the day my mama told me, Boy, you pack your bags
We was sittin' ducks for the police man
They found a dirty faced kid in a garbage can
And I'm alone, I'm on the highway, wanted dead or alive, dead or alive
