Wanted Lyrics by The Refreshments

The Bottle & Fresh Horses

1997

[Verse 1]
Well I'm wanted in fifty states and in Mexico
Them wanted posters stretch from Alaska down to Tierra Del Fuego
I do the don'ts, I don't the do's, I wrong the rights and I false the truths
I drink all night and I howl the blues
'Cause I never been wanted like I want to be wanted by you

[Verse 2]
Well federalies put a bullet in my sombrero
Still there ain't an hombre standin' who's got the drop on this here pistelero
I do the don'ts, I don't the do's, and every time I turn around I'm on the five o'clock news

[Verse 3]
My blood runs red, my heart is blue
Cause I never been wanted like I want to be wanted by you
Like I want to be wanted by you
Like I want to be wanted by you
Like I want to be wanted by you

[Bridge]
So baby grab my hand
We're gonna make our stand on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande
I got me a little money and a place to go
Where you can live high, while I lay low
Yeah let's go

[Verse 4]
Still I'm wanted in fifty states and in Mexico
Now them wanted posters stretch from Alaska to Tierra Del Fuego
I do the don'ts, I don't the do's, and every time I turn around I'm on the ten o'clock news
My blood runs red but my heart is blue
Cause I never been wanted like I want to be wanted by you
Like I want to be wanted by you

Like I want to be wanted by you
I want to be wanted by you
