[Verse 1]
I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
Well, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Doctor call me crazy, some says I am some says I ain't
Doctor call me crazy, some says I am some says I ain't
The preacher man call me a sinner
But his little girl call me a saint

[Chorus 2]
Couple of shots of whiskey, women round here start lookin' good
A couple of shots of whiskey, women round here start lookin' good
Couple more shots of whiskey
I'm goin' down to Minglewood

T for Texas, yes and it's T for Timbuctoo
T for Texas, yes and it's T for Timbuctoo
Yes and it's T for Morrison
Where the little girls know what to do
