Lyrics
Bullet in my shoulder
Blood running down my vest
Twenty in the posse
And they're never gonna let me rest
'Till I became a wanted man
Well, I never even owned a gun
Now they own me like a mountain cat
And I'm always on the run
Well I killed poor Jed Bryce
In a bad Laredo fight
I killed him with my bare hands
For the girl I loved that night
Jed's brothers out to get me
He's coming with his gang
And I'd rather shoot it out by God
Than let them watch me hang
Bullet in my shoulder
Blood running down my vest
Twenty in the posse
And they're never gonna let me rest
'Till I became a wanted man
Well, I never even owned a gun
Now they own me like a mountain cat
And I'm always on the run
She had spangles on her wedding dress
She had laughter in her voice
And when I tried to put my hands on her
My heart left me no choice
Now was she really worth it
I guess I'll never know
She'll be drinking someone else's rye
When I'm six feet below
Bullet in my shoulder
Blood running down my vest
Twenty in the posse
And they're never gonna let me rest
'Till I became a wanted man
Well, I never even owned a gun
Now they own me like a mountain cat
And I'm always on the run
