Wanted for Life
Fill the suitcase up
Did he stiff somebody?
Will he testify?
If you say you're sorry
Grown men laugh when they heard that lie
Ten to twelve gonna hang them high
Wanted for life
I'm wanted for life
I ran outside, the buildings dropped
Now he stole the crown, do the buggers never stop?
Said - wait a minute pop
Wait a minute pop
Now upon this earth we stand on dirt
We got tore down but I'm still standing up
Every little drop
(I'm thankful for) every little drop
Torn and frayed, even though it's full of holes
Getcha where ya wanna go
Getcha where ya wanna go
Even though you're smarter than me
I'll write your autobiography
I'm using all the words up
I got my grammar in the five and dime
I'm givin' all the words up
And now I know the words are mine
If ya close your eyes
Do ya picture money?
Did he change his mind?
Will it keep you running?
The blind men sing, the girl's gone wild
The statute's clear and they emphasized
Wanted for life
I'm wanted for life
So, swing that stick, throw that rock
Inch by inch, going step by step
Well - wait a minute pop
Wait a minute pop
Now upon this earth we stand on dirt
We got torn down but I'm still standing up
Filled with every little drop
(I'm thankful for) every little drop
Torn and frayed, my testimony's full of holes
Get me where I wanna go
Which-a-way ya wanna go
Pardon me sir
I don't live here no more
But see that's the way it goes
I'm moving on a gravel road
Pardon me sir
I don't live here no more
Maybe that's the way it goes
I guess that that's the way it goes
Pardon me sir
I don't live here no more
I'm moving on a gravel road
Maybe that's the way it goes
Did he stiff somebody?
Will he testify?
If you say you're sorry
Grown men laugh when they heard that lie
Ten to twelve gonna hang them high
Wanted for life
I'm wanted for life
I ran outside, the buildings dropped
Now he stole the crown, do the buggers never stop?
Said - wait a minute pop
Wait a minute pop
Now upon this earth we stand on dirt
We got tore down but I'm still standing up
Every little drop
(I'm thankful for) every little drop
Torn and frayed, even though it's full of holes
Getcha where ya wanna go
Getcha where ya wanna go
Even though you're smarter than me
I'll write your autobiography
I'm using all the words up
I got my grammar in the five and dime
I'm givin' all the words up
And now I know the words are mine
If ya close your eyes

Wait a minute pop
Now upon this earth we stand on dirt
We got torn down but I'm still standing up
Filled with every little drop

Torn and frayed, my testimony's full of holes
Get me where I wanna go
Which-a-way ya wanna go
Pardon me sir

But see that's the way it goes
I'm moving on a gravel road
Pardon me sir
I don't live here no more
Maybe that's the way it goes
I guess that that's the way it goes
Pardon me sir
I don't live here no more
I'm moving on a gravel road
Maybe that's the way it goes
