Lyrics
We was broke and hungry on a summer day
They sent the sheriff down to try an' drive us away
We were sittin' ducks for the police man
They found a dirty-faced kid in a garbage can (Uh ha)
(Ooh!)
And I'm alone, I'm on the highway
Wanted, dead or alive
Dead or alive
Broken down and dirty, dressed in rags
Ah from the day my mama told me "Boy, you pack your bags"
Ah send the mayor down in his pickup truck
The jury look at me, say "Outta luck" (Oo-ooh, yeah!)
And I'm alone, I'm on the highway
Wanted, dead or alive
Dead or alive (Uh-aah!)
(Alright! Ooh!)
Now, I'm broken down and dirty, dressed in rags
Ah from the day my mama told me "Boy, you pack your bags"
An' we were sittin' ducks for the police man
They found a dirty-faced kid in a garbage can
(Dirty yeah, yeah!)
Babe, I'm alone and, I'm on the highway
Wanted, dead or alive
Dead or alive (Ow-ow!)
(Wow! I'm gone! Ooh yeah-ah! Oh! Ow-ow!)
Baby, let me run
(Oh-oh, oh-oh!)
I'm a spark on the horizon
(Ow!)
(Ow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow!)
(Ow-wow-wow-wow-wow!)
