Lyrics
verse#1
well it's snowing up on the hoo-doo
and it's raining down on the plain
and the tumbleweeds
are dodging barbedwire
I love to watch them roll
cause sometimes I feel
like I'm tumbling too
that's the reason I came
and it's been fun son
but I'm thinking it's time to go
chorus
I'm getting while the gettings good
I'm making my getaway
lord knows I gotta get it
while I can
you see I could'nt stay if I could
not one more day
I heard my baby say
I'm a wanted man
verse#2
I'm ten sleeps outside of Meetetsee
with one more sleepless night alone
and a sign on the door
that says "do not disturbe"
I could be halfway down the alley way
before they even know I'm gone
jack in the back
peeling out from the crube
chorus
bridge
wanted man
thats' not a bad thing
wanted man
where you been?
wanted man
might be a good thing
when your back
in your babys' arms again
verse#3
you know those absarokas
they are quite the sight to see
and the shoshone is running
clear as gin
and that eagle taking flight
he was looking right at me
looks like it's looking like
theres' nothing left to harvest here
but the wind
chorus
