From the recording Where the Legends Grow Like Weeds
Lyrics
Well, I’m in love with a wanted man
And Lord, I want him any way I can
He says he loves me, but it’s hard to see
What a wanted man would want with me.
CHORUS:
‘Cause every time that I turn around
I hear he’s wanted all over town.
He holds me up and he lets me down
But I still want him around
Oh yeah, I love him
That’s the trouble with a wanted man.
Y’know, he’s wanted in every state
When he is sober and when he ain’t
Now I’m not jealous, but I tell no lie
All the girls stand straighter when a wanted man walks by.
BRIDGE
Woe, oh woe, is me!
The crime is plain to see
My heart’s in chains
While a wanted man goes free!
Well I’m in love with a wanted man
And Lord I want him any time I can
Now tell me, sister, what can I do?
If you ever saw him—you’d want him too!
Oh yeah, you’d want him!
That’s the trouble with a wanted man.
CHORUS:
‘Now every time that I turn around
I hear he’s wanted all over town
He holds me up and he lets me down
But I still want him around
Oh yeah, I love him
That’s the trouble with a wanted man.
I’ll always love him.
That’s the trouble with a wanted man.
Oh yeah!
