Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We was broke and hungry on a summer day
They send 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, ha
[Verse 2]
Ooh, and I'm alone, I'm on the highway
Wanted, D.O.A.
D.O.A.
[Verse 3]
Broken down and dirty, dressed in rags
Ah, from the day my mama told me
"Boy, you pack your bags"
I send the mayor down in his pickup truck, ha
The jury look at me say, "Outta luck"
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 4]
And I'm alone, I'm on the highway
Wanted, dead or alive
Dead or alive, Aah
[Verse 5]
Alright, ooh
[Verse 6]
Now I'm broken down and dirty, dressed in rags
Ah, from the day my mama told me
"Boy, you pack your bags"
Here we were, sittin' ducks for the police man
They found a dirty-faced kid in a garbage can
Dirty, yeah yeah
[Verse 7]
Babe, I'm alone, and I'm on the highway
Wanted, dead or alive
Dead or alive, Ow ow
[Verse 8]
Wow, I'm gone
Ooh, yeah
Oh
Alright
Baby, out on the road, oh, oh
I'm a spark on the horizon
Wow
[Verse 9]
La-da-da-da-da-da-wow
La-da-da-da-wow
