[Chorus]
I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
Well, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their other men
[Verse 1]
Said I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
Well, the sheriff couldn't catch me
But his little girl sure wished she would
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
Well now, the doctor call me crazy, some says I am, some says I ain't
See now, the doctor call me crazy, some says I am, some says I ain't
Well, the preacher man call me a sinner, but his little girl call me a saint
[Verse 3]
See now, a couple of shots of whiskey, women 'round here start lookin' good
A couple of shots of whiskey, these New York girls start lookin' good
Couple more shots of whiskey, I'm goin' down to Minglewood
[Instrumental break]
I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
Well, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their other men
[Verse 1]
Said I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
Well, the sheriff couldn't catch me
But his little girl sure wished she would
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
Well now, the doctor call me crazy, some says I am, some says I ain't
See now, the doctor call me crazy, some says I am, some says I ain't
Well, the preacher man call me a sinner, but his little girl call me a saint
[Verse 3]
See now, a couple of shots of whiskey, women 'round here start lookin' good
A couple of shots of whiskey, these New York girls start lookin' good
Couple more shots of whiskey, I'm goin' down to Minglewood
[Instrumental break]
